The purpose of this study was to investigate the in vitro degradation and release behaviors of calcium phosphate powders (Ca/P) containing Chinese Medicine for bone graft. Two kinds of Ca/P powders, one with the Chinese Medicine, Salvia Miltiorrhiza Bunge (SMB) and the other with Polyacrylic Acid (PAA) and SMB, were soaked in simulated body fluid (SBF) for up to 150h. The in vitro release of SMB was measured by UV-VIS spectroscopy. The Ca2+ concentrations and pH of SBF soaked Ca/P powders were measured by AAS and pH meter. TA and XRD were employed to analyze various Ca/P powders before and after soaked in SBF, respectively. The results demonstrated that a faster SMB release occurred during the first 24 hours, while a slow release was sustained up to150h. Furthermore, the released of SMB in Ca/P-PAA-SMB was faster than that of Ca/P-SMB. It was concluded that a controllable release of Chinese Medicine from Calcium phosphate may be carried out by the addition of suitable surfactant. Accordingly, calcium ions were released into SBF, which was benefit for bone tissue repairing and reconstructing. Additionally, the TA results showed that there was 1.66% SMB released from Ca/P-SMB-PAA powders. XRD confirmed that various Ca/P powders possessed poorer crystallinity and smaller grain size.

The reactivity of acid base cements forming hydroxyapatite (HA) such as, ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) and dicalcium phosphate dehydrate (DCPD). Amorphous calcium phosphates, prepared by precipitation from supersaturated solutions, can also react to form apatitic cements since they are thermodynamic unstable with respect to HA and have a setting reaction more independent of particle size. Calcium phosphate cement containing an antibiotic can be used for filling bone defects and to ensure local antibiotherapy. Therefore, in the present chapter proposal, cement paste was prepared by combining cement liquids comprised of Na2HPO4 with cement powders. Gentamicin sulfate was also loaded on the cements and its in vitro release was evaluated over a period of time. The cement setting times were compared before and after drug addition. According to results, the initial and final setting times of samples increase after drug addition.

The study was focused on the evaluation of two copolymers as micellar carriers for kaempferol delivery. The copolymers comprised identical hydrophilic blocks of poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate and different hydrophobic blocks of either poly(ε-caprolactone) (PDMAEMA9-b-PCL70-b-PDMAEMA9) or poly(propylene oxide) (PDMAEMA13-b-PPO69-b-PDMAEMA13). The calculation of Flory-Huggins parameters and determination of encapsulation efficiency showed that PDMAEMA-b-PCL-b-PDMAEMA copolymer possessed higher capacity for kaempferol loading. The diameter of the micelles before and after lyophilization was not changed, suggesting that the micelles could be lyophilized and redispersed before administration. The in vitro release of kaempferol from PDMAEMA-b-PPO-b-PDMAEMA micelles was faster than the release from PDMAEMA-b-PCL-b-PDMAEMA micelles, probably due to the higher affinity of kaempferol to this copolymer. Further, the higher affinity resulted in a retention of antioxidant activity of kaempferol in the presence of DPPH and KO2 radicals. Thus, PDMAEMA-PCL-PDMAEMA was considered more appropriate carrier because of the higher encapsulation efficiency and preservation of antioxidant activity of the drug.

Osteomyelitis is a severe bone infection frequently caused by Staphylococcus aureus, which shows significant resistance to methicillin. One therapeutic treatment would be to insert a bone substitute loaded to an antibiotic, which would enable the bone to be filled while the illness is being treated. Linezolid is an oxazolidinone antibiotic with a large spectrum of action. It is effective against most Gram-positive bacteria and displays a specific mode of action. The aim of this work was to study the association of linezolid with a calcium phosphate-deficient apatite matrix. Granules containing 10% and 50% linezolid were prepared by wet granulation and characterized. Porosity analyses performed by mercury porosimetry and scanning electron microscopy revealed that grain porosity with 50% linezolid was higher than that of the grains containing 10% linezolid. NMR analyses showed no change in structure of linezolid when linked to calcium-deficient apatite. These results were confirmed by studying the antibacterial activity of linezolid, which remained proportional to the quantity of loaded linezolid, proving that the antibiotic released was active. The in vitro release time varied from 9 days for granules containing 10% linezolid to 26 days for granules containing 50% linezolid.

Objective: This study was designed to improve the solubility and biological activity of class II drug clarithromycin (CLA) by utilizing the nanotechnology as a novel drug delivery system.Methods: Bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) nanoparticles were synthesized using chemical co-precipitation technique, while the loading of clarithromycin (CLA) with bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) nanoparticles was achieved using incorporation method. The loading process, as well as particle size reduction, were evaluated using x-ray diffraction (XRD), furrier transformed infrared (FTIR) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). In vitro release study was performed using USP paddle apparatus type II in phosphate buffer solution pH 7.4. Disc diffusion method was the technique used to test the antibacterial activity of CLA before and after loading process.Results: Loading of CLA with Bi2S3 nanoparticles was accomplished successfully accompanied with particle size reduction within nano range as measured by AFM. In vitro release study showed a significant* increase in solubility and dissolution profile of CLA after loading process, which was also proven using XRD that indicate transformation from crystalline into more soluble amorphous structure. Susceptibility test displayed significant* potentiation of antibacterial activity at all tested concentrations against gram+ve bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis after loading of CLA with Bi2S3 nanoparticles, while gram –ve bacteria E. coli showed no response for CLA before and after loading process.Conclusion: The solubility, as well as the antibacterial activity of CLA, were improved significantly* after preparation of nanotechnology based drug delivery system through the utilization of metal nanoparticles, Bi2S3, as nanocarriers for CLA.
