Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To review the characteristics changes of calcium phosphate cement (CPC) as drug delayed release carrier before and after carrying different drugs, analyze dynamic principle and influential factors of drug delayed release system, and summarize new advances of CPC in animal experiments and clinical studies.DATA SOURCES: A computer-based online search of CNKI (www.cnki.net/index.htm) and PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed) was performed for articles published between 1985 and 2009 with the key words of "calcium phosphate cement, CPC, drug delivery system, release" in Chinese and English.DATA SELECTION: Articles highly related with CPC; articles concerning CPC as drug delivery system. Repetitive articles were excluded.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Changes in physico-chemical properties and drug release dynamics of CPC as delivery carrier of different drugs.RESULTS: CPC is an outstanding skeletal defect restorative material. Considering physico-chemical properties, drug release dynamics and histocompatibility, CPC is good delayed release carrier of drugs. However, its clinical application is limited only in bone defect repair of unloading sites due to its bad compressive strength and adhesivity. Therefore, studies on these aspects require exploration.CONCLUSION: CPC as a drug delivery system is a novel administration method. It can repair bone defect and release drug to achieve favorable treatment effects. CPC has been extensively used in osteomyelitis, bone tuberculosis, bone tumor, bone fracture, bone nonunion, and artificial joint replacement.
