Microencapsulation and characterization of Gentamicin-PLGA microsphere intended for orthopaedic infection /

The study was done for the purpose of developing biodegradable gentamicin-loaded microspheres fabricated using poly(D.L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA). The microspheres were fabricated by manipulating several variables i.e. molecular weight of PLGA, types of surfactant/emulsifier, different concent...

520 |a The study was done for the purpose of developing biodegradable gentamicin-loaded microspheres fabricated using poly(D.L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA). The microspheres were fabricated by manipulating several variables i.e. molecular weight of PLGA, types of surfactant/emulsifier, different concentrations of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as well as the oil phase and different HLB values of surfactants in order to achieve the best formulation for W /0/W emulsion during the fabrication process. Antibiotic treatment of orthopaedic infection is complicated by systemic toxicity and the need of effective therapeutic concentration necessary to ensure optimum killing of bacteria. To overcome the problem of systemic toxicity and to achieve a high initial release followed by sustained release of antibiotics, a new method of delivering gentamicin is attempted by encapsulating gentamicin into PLGA using multiple emulsion, solvent-evaporation method. Gentamicin was first extracted from the microspheres and quantified using Ninhydrin assay before the concentration was measured using UV spectrophotometer. Gentamicin loading after encapsulation was preserved when CTAB (83.51 ± 1.42%) and low molecular weight (LMW) PLGA (82.38 ± 9.08%) were used as indicated by drug loading of more than 80% in the discdiffusion assay. LMW PLGA enabled high burst release (-90%) of gentamicin within the first 10 hours corresponding to zone inhibition of 13.78 ± 0.86 mm, only 30% smaller than the positive control (10 mg/ml gentamicin). The effects of Tg and molecular weight rather than surfactant types influence the initial burst release. The in vitro release profile suggests that by having a mixture of various PLGA microspheres in one dosage implant system, the high burst release can be sustained within therapeutic concentration for a prolonged period (> 1 months). This biodegradable delivery system does not entail another surgery to remove the implant hence reducing the high treatment cost usually associated with the non-bidegradable proprietary gentamicin-polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) beads currently in use.
