Double network sodium alginate/chitosan hydrogels were prepared using calcium chloride (CaCl) and glutaraldehyde as the crosslinking agents by the ionotropic interaction method for controlled metronidazole release. The effect of polymer ratios and CaCl amount is investigated by the developing porosity, gel fraction, and extent of swelling in simulated physiological fluids. Interaction between the polymers with the formation of crosslinked structures, good stability, phase nature, and morphology of the hydrogels is revealed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. A sodium alginate/chitosan hydrogel (weight ratio of 75:25) crosslinked with two percent CaCl is chosen for the in-situ loading of 200 mg of metronidazole. The drug release kinetics using different models show that the best-fit Korsmeyer-Peppas model suggests metronidazole release from the matrix follows diffusion and swelling-controlled time-dependent non-Fickian transport related to hydrogel erosion. This composition displays enhanced antimicrobial activity against and .
采用氯化钙(CaCl)和戊二醛作为交联剂,通过离子相互作用法制备了双网络海藻酸钠/壳聚糖水凝胶,用于甲硝唑的控释。通过测定在模拟生理流体中的孔隙率、凝胶分数和溶胀程度,研究了聚合物比例和氯化钙用量的影响。利用傅里叶变换红外光谱、热重分析、X射线衍射和扫描电子显微镜揭示了聚合物之间形成交联结构、良好稳定性、相性质和水凝胶形态的相互作用。选择与2%氯化钙交联的海藻酸钠/壳聚糖水凝胶(重量比75:25)用于原位负载200mg甲硝唑。使用不同模型的药物释放动力学表明,最佳拟合的Korsmeyer-Peppas模型表明甲硝唑从基质中的释放遵循与水凝胶侵蚀相关的扩散和溶胀控制的时间依赖性非菲克传输。该组合物对……显示出增强的抗菌活性。 (原文中“against and.”部分信息缺失,无法完整准确翻译)
