Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The drug delivery systems are commonly constructed by vacuum adsorption (VA), dynamic adsorption (DA) and static adsorption. Up to now, there is still no published studies that systematically evaluate the drug loading capacity and controlled drug release property of porous β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffolds loading rifampicin (RFP) constructed by these three solution adsorption methods.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the drug loading capacity and controlled drug release property of porous β-TCP scaffolds loading RFP constructed by these three solution adsorption methods.
METHODS: The β-TCP/RFP drug delivery systems were constructed by VA, DA and SA, respectively. The mechanical strength of β-TCP, drug loading capacity and controlled drug release property of the three different drug delivery systems were analyzed.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) There were no differences in the mechanical strength of β-TCP from VA-DDS, DA-DDS and SA-DDS  (P > 0.05). The mechanical strength of β-TCP in three DDS groups was not significantly different from that of unloading β-TCP (P > 0.05). (2) The in vitro drug loading testing indicated that the unit mass of RFP in VA-DDS [(1.02±0.16) mg/g] was significantly higher than that in SA-DDS [(0.79±0.12) mg/g] or DA-DDS [(0.89±0.13) mg/g] (P < 0.05). (3) The in vitro release study showed an initial burst release of RFP in the three different DDSs within the first 12 hours and after 84 hours. At 84 hours, the cumulative release of RFP from VA-DDS, DA-DDS and SA-DDS was up to (66.82±5.16)%, (79.49±3.50)% and (91.30±5.86%), respectively (P < 0.05). Complete RFP release was observed at 21.5, 17.5 and 14.5 days in VA-DDS, DA-DDS and SA-DDS, respectively (P < 0.05). As the VA-DDS shows highest RFP loading capacity and most sustained drug release, VA is recommended for the construction of porous β-TCP/RFP drug delivery systems.
