We have developed an agarose-based biocompatible drug delivery vehicle. The vehicle is in the form of thin, transparent, strong and flexible films. The biocompatibility and haemocompatibility of the films is confirmed using direct and indirect contact biological assay. Contact angle measurement exhibits hydrophilic nature of the films, and protein adsorption test shows low protein adsorption on the film surface. Drugs, antibiotics and antiseptics, retain their potency after their incorporation into the films. Our bioplastic films can be a versatile medium for drug delivery applications, especially as wound and surgical dressings where a fast drug release rate is desired.
我们开发了一种基于琼脂糖的生物相容性药物递送载体。该载体呈薄、透明、坚固且柔韧的薄膜形式。使用直接和间接接触生物测定法确认了薄膜的生物相容性和血液相容性。接触角测量显示薄膜具有亲水性,蛋白质吸附测试表明薄膜表面的蛋白质吸附率较低。药物、抗生素和防腐剂在掺入薄膜后仍保持其效力。我们的生物塑料薄膜可以成为药物递送应用的通用介质,特别是作为需要快速药物释放速率的伤口和手术敷料。
