Zotarolimus
Zotarolimus is an immunosuppressant. It is a semi-synthetic derivative of rapamycin. It was designed for use in stents with phosphorylcholine as a carrier. Coronary stents reduce early complications and improve late clinical outcomes in patients needing interventional cardiology. The first human coronary stent implantation was first performed in 1986 by Puel et al. However, there are complications associated with stent use, development of thrombosis which impedes the efficiency of coronary stents, haemorrhagic and restenosis complications are problems associated with stents. These complications have prompted the development of drug-eluting stents. Stents are bound by a membrane consisting of polymers which not only slowly release Zotarolimus and its derivatives into the surrounding tissues but also do not invoke an inflammatory response by the body. Medtronic are using Zotarolimus as the anti-proliferative agent in the polymer coating of their Endeavor and Resolute products.
