The successful synthesis of hydroxyapatite (HA), β-Tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and two biphasic mixtures (BCPs) of the two was performed by means of wet precipitation. The resulting crystals were characterized and the BCP composition was analyzed and identified as 13% HA-87% TCP and 41% HA-59% TCP. All samples were treated with curcumin solutions, and the degree of curcumin loading and release was found to be proportional to the TCP content of the ceramic. No further cytotoxicity was observed upon MG-63 treatment with the curcumin-loaded ceramics. Finally, the alkaline phosphatase activity of the cells was found to increase with increasing content of TCP, which provides an encouraging proof of concept for the use of curcumin-loaded synthetic biomaterials in bone remodeling.
通过湿沉淀法成功合成了羟基磷灰石(HA)、β-磷酸三钙(β-TCP)以及二者的两种双相混合物(BCP)。对所得晶体进行了表征,并对BCP组成进行了分析,确定其为13%HA-87%TCP和41%HA-59%TCP。所有样品均用姜黄素溶液处理,发现姜黄素的负载和释放程度与陶瓷的TCP含量成正比。用负载姜黄素的陶瓷处理MG-63细胞后,未观察到进一步的细胞毒性。最后,发现细胞的碱性磷酸酶活性随TCP含量的增加而增加,这为负载姜黄素的合成生物材料在骨重塑中的应用提供了令人鼓舞的概念验证。
