Thiol content and total nitric oxide storage for the thiol-modified G2-hyperbranched polyesters.a
| Polyesters | Thiol contentb (μmol mg−1) | t[NO]c (μmol mg−1) | Nitrosation efficiencyd (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| G2-HP-ET | 1.96 ± 0.04 | 1.60 ± 0.27 | 81.8 ± 13.7 |
| G2-HP-BT | 2.38 ± 0.07 | 1.97 ± 0.41 | 82.8 ± 17.2 |
| G2-HP-DTT | 2.20 ± 0.17 | 1.84 ± 0.21 | 83.6 ± 9.5 |
a
n ≥ 3 separate syntheses;
b
Thiol content determined by Ellman’s assay;
c
NO-release totals measured in 0.2 mg mL−1 CuBr2-supplemented PBS solution.
d
Nitrosation efficiency calculated from dividing NO totals by thiol content.
