Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Local administration of anti-tuberculosis drugs is a commonly used therapy. Due to the rapid absorption, the drugs cannot have the durable therapy effect; therefore, it is necessary to seek an optimal carrier material for the agents.
OBJECTIVE: To review the new development for the carrier materials of anti-tuberculosis drugs.
METHODS: A computer-based search of PubMed and VIP databases was performed by the first author to search articles related to sustained-released anti-tuberculosis drugs published from January 1990 to December 2014. The key words were “osteoarticular tuberculosis; anti-tuberculosis; sustained-released drugs” in English and Chinese, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Inorganic materials (calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate), polymer materials (polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, polylactic-co-glycolic acid) and biomaterials (protein, glutin, alginates, chitin, demineralized bone matrix) are the main three kinds of carrier materials for anti-tuberculosis drugs. These carrier materials have their own advantages and disadvantages, which cannot be the optimal carrier materials. However, the complex of these materials is a promising technology for the optimal carrier materials in the future.
