Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Author: Karolína Ptáčková Title of thesis: Formulation of vancomycin loaded PLGA nanoparticles for local treatment of musculoskeletal infections II. Supervisor: PharmDr. Eva Šnejdrová, Ph.D. Consultant: Mgr. Vladislav Frolov The aim of the work was to formulate vancomycin hydrochloride (Van-HCl) loaded PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) using a double emulsion method for the local treatment of musculoskeletal infections. During preparation, selected critical formulation factors were modified and their influence on the characteristics of nanoparticles was studied. The size of the NPs determined by the DLS method ranged from 200 to 800 nm, the PDI was lower than 0.2 in most batches. The encapsulation efficiency (EE) determined by the direct method ranged from 2 % to 9 %. Glycerol monostearate at a concentration of 15 mg/ml proved to be a suitable primary emulsion stabilizer. The optimal concentration of PVA for stabilizing the nanosuspension was 30 mg/ml. The size of the NPs was influenced by the intensity of homogenization and the concentration of PVA. The concentration of Van-HCl, the organic solvent used and the intensity of homogenization led to an increase in EE. The DSC method confirmed that Van-HCl remains...

Formulation of vancomycin loaded PLGA nanoparticles for local treatment of musculoskeletal infections I.

Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Kralove Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Author: Ivana Petrášová Title of thesis: Formulation of PLGA nanoparticles with vancomycin for local treatment of musculoskeletal infections I Supervisor: PharmDr. Eva Šnejdrová, Ph.D. The treatment of musculoskeletal infections requires the presence of high antibiotics concentration at the infection site. However, high doses of orally administered drugs cause the risk of increased systemic toxicity and serious adverse effects. Targeted drug delivery, currently one of the main areas of pharmaceutical research, represents a suitable option of a treatment without excessive burden on the organism. This diploma thesis focuses on the formulation of a therapeutic system for the local treatment of musculoskeletal infections in the form of polymer nanoparticles containing the antibiotic vancomycin. Due to the need of incorporation of a hydrophilic antimicrobial substance into them, the suspension-emulsion method of their preparation was used. Different concentrations of polyvinyl alcohol stabilizer and tripentaerythritol branched hydrophobic polymer poly(D,L- lactide-co-glycolide) were used for the preparation. Within the study the size of nanoparticles, polydispersity, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency...

Formulation and characterization of w/o emulsions for local treatment of musculoskeletal infections
Vedralová, Štěpánka ; Šnejdrová, Eva (advisor) ; Mužíková, Jitka (referee)
CHARLES UNIVERSITY Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical technology Author: Štěpánka Vedralová Title of diploma thesis: Formulation and characterization of w/o emulsions for local treatment of musculoskeletal infections Supervisor: PharmDr. Eva Šnejdrová, Ph.D. The aim of the diploma thesis was to formulate a depot dosage form for the prevention and local treatment of musculoskeletal infections. A water-in-oil emulsions have been formulated which, due to the partition coefficient between the outer and inner phases, can provide sustained drug release. Oils with different viscosities were tested as oil phases. Tricaprin was chosen for the preparation of emulsions, due to the highest stability of the prepared emulsion. Lecithin and sorbitan monooleate or polyglyceryl-3-polyricinooleate (PGPR) and magnesium stearate were used as emulsifiers. The aqueous phase was a solution of vancomycin hydrochloride and gentamicin sulphate. The flow properties on a rotational rheometer were evaluated. The influence of the emulsion composition and the homogenization method on the coefficient of consistency and the index of flow behaviour of the emulsions was studied. The emulsions stabilized with lecithin have a higher viscosity and a structure more sensitive to changes in composition...

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...
