Abstract:
By developing a rapid gelation chitosan (CS) /β-glycerophosphate (β-GP) thermosensitive hydrogel containing Kuijiean, to decrease the loss of drug and confirm the capabilities of the drug delivery. Thermosensitive hydrogel was a carrier, gel time was chosen in this study as the index to investigate the effect of β-GP concentration, pH value, and temperature on the thermosensitive hydrogel by single factor experiments. The properties of the hydrogel were characterized regarding shape and surface morphology by using scaning electron microscopy (SEM); The chemical structure diversification of hydrogels upon gelation was charactered by FTIR spectrometer. By the experiments of the drug loaded thermosensitive hydrogel to deliver drug in vitro, the diversification of the capabilities of the drug delivery was evaluated. The temperature of Kuijiean thermosensitive hydrogel was (37.0 ± 4.5) ℃, by which the sol gel could transform into semi-solid gel at (6.00 ± 0.82) min, the drug release rate slowed down obviously, and the cumulative release rate was only (67.78 ± 0.35)% (n = 3) by 24 h, while the cumulative release rate of the equal quantity of raw material drug was (90.43 ± 0.62)% (n = 3) by 24 h. The release behavior was close to the Weibull model, the drug release mechanism was a double mechanism combining drug diffusion and gel erosion. It is true that achieves the transformation of Kuijiean from sol to semi-solid gel at 37.0 ℃. The CS/β-GP gel system allows the sustained release of the Kuijiean.
