Abstract:
Objective To prepare and optimize fibrin-gel-coated vaneomycin alginate beads (FG-Vanco-AB)and investigate their possible use in treatment of osteomyelitis or prevention of infection.Methods Vancomycin alginate beads were produced by dropping vancomycin and alginate mixed liquor into calcium chloride solution.Beads including high vancomycin content were prepared and chosen by optimizing different concentrations of vancomycin solution and alginate solution.These beads were coated with fibrin gel formed by different concentrations of fibrin and the same concentration thrombin.The optimized beads were selected based on available release time,when vancomycin in medium could kill Staphylococcus aureus(ATCC25923). Results Higher content of vancomycin in bead resulted in increase of vancomycin concentration and alginate concentration in mixed liquid.The highest vancomycin content beads were prepared by 16%alginate and 50 mr/ml vancomycin,up to(27.36±0.90)%.The further results showed that vancomycin concentrations from beads coated with fibrin at 75 mg/ml and thrombin at 400 IU/ml could kill Staphylococcus aureus and remained above the breakpoint sensitivity for 19 days.Conclusion The available release time is prolonged,and the possibility of clinical use is conspicuously increased after vancomycin beads are optimized by adjusting the rate of mixed component and fibrin gel coat.
