  Abstract

Using poly(lactic acid) (PLA) as biodegradable and biocompatible material is demanded for vascular scaffolds especially a susceptible substitute of permanent metal stents in treatment of coronary heart disease. In this work, PLA nanofibers containing aspirin (Asp) loaded into zeolitic imidazolate framework nanoparticles (ZIF-8@Asp NPs) were prepared for vascular tissue application. In this line, ZIF-8@Asp NPs were synthesized, and their characterization revealed their average NP size and the drug loading efficiency of approximately 180 nm and 76 %. Afterward, ZIF-8@Asp NPs were loaded into PLA nanofibers and the obtained results showed a uniform morphology with an average nanofibers diameter of around 544 nm, Young셲 modulus of 1.7 MPa, and the ultimate drug release of 19 % after six days. Besides degradation studies of the sample, the addition of ZIF-8@Asp NPs to the PLA nanofibers displayed no adverse effect on the shape recovery properties. Finally, the hemolysis and platelet adhesion confirmed that the surface of the ZIF-8@Asp-loaded PLA nanofibrous samples exhibited appropriate hemocompatibility.
