Abstract: Monomer(s) based on a 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-benzoxazine derivative. Alternatively, a composition comprising a mixture of the monomer(s) and of a second benzoxazine derivative selected from the group consisting of monofunctional amines bridged with diphenolic compounds, monophenolic compounds bridged with diamines and diamines bridged by diphenolic compounds, or a mixture thereof. These compounds are suited for the preparation of benzoxazine derivative heterogeneous polymers, for example having the shape of coatings or films, exhibiting enhanced anti-inflammatory and/or anti-oxidant properties. A material with a coated substrate with the heterogeneous polymer may be a part of implantable materials, such as implantable metallic apparatus such as a catheter, a metallic implant, or a metallic prosthesis, biologically compatible. These implantable materials may be safely used because they are preventing any inflammatory and/or oxidative reaction(s) from a host into which the coated substrate is grafted or implanted.
