FABRICATION AND EVALUATION OF PHYSICALLY CROSSLINKED STIMULI SENSITIVE POLYMERIC BLEND OF PVA-GELATIN AS DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM BY FREEZE THAW CYCLES
Authors
Abstract:
Vacuum dried Metronidazole hydrochloride (MTZ) loaded Crosslinked polymeric blend of Poly(vinyl)alcohol (PVA) and Gelatin(GE) in different ratios by 30 freeze/thaw cycles (FTC) tested for stimuli sensitivity and crosslinking at various pH, temperature, ionic concentration and oscillatory test along with dye absorption test showed maximum swelling in alkaline pH and decreased swelling with increased ionic concentration. Digital scanning calorimetry(DSC) thermograms of the blank crosslinked sample showed a sharp endothermic peak at 160.57 0C and MTZ loaded samples showed two sharp endothermic peaks at 159.95 0C and 324.74 0C indicating the entrapment of drug in the polymeric network. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) showed the rough polymeric texture. Fourier Transformation Infrared Spectroscopy(FTIR) confirmed the presence of new peaks in the cross-linked and drug-loaded sample. In-vitro drug release studies showed 98.253%± 0.363 and 92.248%±0.244 release in the first 6 hours. Biodegradability and bactericidal studies of the blank film indicated that the crosslinked sample is biodegradable and does not inhibit any microbial growth.

Fabrication of polymeric microparticles for drug delivery by soft lithography.
Soft lithographic techniques were used to fabricate polymeric microparticles for drug delivery applications. The microparticles were made of thermoplastics and thermosets from different types of precursors including reactive resin and polymer solutions in organic solvents or water. The microparticles produced using these methods were made of widely used polymers for drug delivery with highly un...

In this study, to mimic the mineral and organic components of natural bone, hydroxyapatite[HA] and gelatin[GEL] composite scaffolds were prepared using the solvent-casting method combined with a freeze drying process. Glutaraldehyde[GA] was used as a cross linking agent and sodium bisulfite was used as an excess GA discharger. Using this technique, it is possible to produce scaffolds with mecha...

This study was performed to explore the deterioration of physicochemical quality of beef hind limb during frozen storage at -20℃, affected by repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The effects of three successive freeze-thaw cycles on beef hind limb were investigated comparing with unfrozen beef muscle for 80 d by keeping at -20±1℃. The freeze-thaw cycles were subjected to three thawing methods and carri...

The aim of present study was to prepare gelatin nanoparticle for drug and gene delivery applications. These nanoparticles were prepared by two-step desolvation method. The body distribution of colloidal drug delivery systems was mainly influenced by two physicochemical properties namely particle size and surface characteristics. The influence of several factors on the fabrication process includ...
full textFabrication and in vitro evaluation of Ketotifen Fumarate-loaded PLGA nanoparticles as a sustained delivery system
Abstract Ketotifen fumarate is a non-bronchodilator anti-asthmatic drug which inhibits the effects of certain endogenous substances known to be inflammatory mediators, and thereby exerts antiallergic activity. The present study describes the formulation of a sustained release nanoparticle (NP) drug delivery system containing ketotifen, using poly (D,L lactide-co-glycolide acid) (PLGA). Biodegra...
