Formulation and characterization of hydrogels for local treatment of musculoskeletal infections
Drdová, Pavlína ; Šnejdrová, Eva (advisor) ; Vraníková, Barbora (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Kralove Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Author: Pavlína Drdová Title of thesis: Formulation and characterization of hydrogels for local treatement of musculoskeletal infection Supervisor: PharmDr. Eva Šnejdrová, Ph.D. Local anti-infective therapy for musculoskeletal infections eliminates systemic drug toxicity. By selecting a suitable drug delivery system, higher drug concentrations at the site of infection and sustained release can be achieved. Such a system may be gels, formulated and tested in the submitted diploma thesis. The theoretical part of the work was devoted to the description of musculoskeletal infections and their treatment, characterization of gels and their use in parenteral administration. Hydrophilic gels based on hypromellose, carrageenan, gelatin and fish gelatin containing vamcomycin hydrochloride and gentamicin sulfate were formulated. Flow and viscoelastic properties were tested on a rotational rheometer. The analysis of flow curves by the Power law model proved a non-Newtonian type of flow. The most sensitive to applied stress is a 3 % hypromellose gel, the least a dispersion of iota-carrageenan with povidone 25. Viscoelastic properties were evaluated based on elastic, viscous and complex modulus, phase angle and yield...
