Article Synopsis
- The study explores the modification of polysulfone (PSU) hemodialysis membranes with bioactive compounds to improve the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
- Two synthesized inhibitors (D4L-1 and D4L-2) and a commercial inhibitor (Sivelestat) were tested for their ability to inhibit human neutrophil elastase (HNE).
- Results showed that the modified membranes were both bioactive and hemocompatible, with D4L-1 demonstrating the strongest inhibitory effect, suggesting improvements over traditional methods for CKD treatment.
