Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known to potentially accelerate re-endothelialization and lower the risk of restenosis by selectively controlling endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells. Recently, several studies have been conducted to develop biodegradable polymeric stents. As biodegradable polymers are not electrically conductive, double metallic layers are required to constitute a galvanic couple for ROS generation. Here, we report a new biodegradable hybrid material composed of a biodegradable polymer substrate and double anodic/cathodic metallic layers for enhancing re-endothelialization and suppressing restenosis. Pure Zn and Mg films (3 mu m thick) were deposited onto poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) substrates by DC magnetron sputtering, and a long-term immersion test using biodegradable hybrid materials was performed in phosphate-buffered solution (PBS) for 2 weeks. The concentrations of superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide generated by the corrosion of biodegradable metallic films were monitored every 1 or 2 days. Both superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide were seamlessly generated even after the complete consumption of the anodic Mg layer. It was confirmed that the superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide were formed not only by the galvanic corrosion between the anode and cathode layers but also by the corrosion of a single Mg or Zn layer. The corrosion products of the Mg and Zn films in PBS were phosphate, oxide, or chloride of the biodegradable metals. Thus, it is concluded that ROS generation by the corrosion of PLLA-based hybrid materials can be sustained until the exhaustion of the cathode metal layer.
