Blood compatibility of heparin-inspired, lactose containing, polyureas depends on the chemistry of the polymer backbone

Abstract
Sulfated glycopolymers were synthesized from diisocyanates and lactose containing diamines. Blood compatibility assays indicated highly sulfated glycopolymers with methylene bis(4-cyclohexyl isocyanate) backbones result in prolonged clotting times.
