Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases including atherosclerosis, diabetes, inflammation and myocardial infarction (MI). In this study, a ROS-responsive biodegradable elastomeric polyurethane containing thioketal (PUTK) linkages was synthesized from polycaprolactone diol (PCL-diol), 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), and ROS-cleavable chain extender. The PUTK was electrospun into fibrous patches with the option to load glucocorticoid methylprednisolone (MP), which were then used to treat MI of rats in vivo. The fibrous patches exhibited suitable mechanical properties and high elasticity. The molecular weight of PUTK was decreased significantly after incubation in 1 mM H2O2 solution for 2 weeks due to the degradation of thioketal bonds on the polymer backbone. Both the PUTK and PUTK/MP fibrous patches showed good antioxidant property in an oxidative environment in vitro. Implantation of the ROS-responsive polyurethane patches in MI of rats in vivo could better protect cardiomyocytes from death in the earlier stage (24 h) than the non ROS-responsive ones. Implantation of the PUTK/MP fibrous patches for 28 days could effectively improve the reconstruction of cardiac functions including increased ejection fraction, decreased infarction size, and enhanced revascularization of the infarct myocardium.
