Heparin and different chitosan derivatives were applied to produce stable electrostatic layer-by-layer assemblies and further used as coating technique to inhibit natural inflammatory response to implants. Heparin was assembled with chitosan and N-methylated chitosan derivatives, namely N,N-dimethyl chitosan (DMC) and N,N,N-trimethyl chitosan (TMC), by dipping method. DMC and TMC (chitosan derivatives) were synthesized and characterized before LbL assembly. Ellipsometry, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM-D), and contact angle were used to demonstrate the deposition of polyelectrolyte multilayers onto silicon wafers using polyelectrolyte solutions with different ionic strength. The biological properties of these films were evaluated by cell culture assays using NIH/3T3 fibroblast cells. LbL assemblies of Heparin and chitosan derivatives showed to be biocompatible, and at the same time they strongly hinder the proliferation speed of fibroblasts up to 40-fold factors. Therefore, the multilayers prepared from heparin and chitosan derivatives have good features to be used as an alternative coating treatment for biomedical implants with reduced body rejection properties.
