Abstract: Effects of seven antihypertensives of Losartan Kalicum(LK), Atenolol(ATEN), Nifedipine(NF), Hydrochlorothiazide(HCTZ), Valsartan(VLA), Furosemide(FUR) and Captopril(CAP) have been investigated on the degradation behavior of AZ31 alloy in simulated body fluid (Hank's solution). LK, NF and HCTZ with the concentrations of 0.5, 1.0 and 0.5 g/L can remarkably enhance the degradation resistance of AZ31 alloy by 63.1, 69.4 and 70.5%, respectively. The surface analysis reveals that the addition of LK, NF and HCTZ can reduce degradation rate by promoting the growth of hydroxyapatite, increasing the protection effect of corrosion film formed. The present results may enhance the corrosion resistance of Mg-based orthopedic implants.
