“…PCL is synthetic polyester that has been studied extensively for controlled drug delivery and tissue engineering applications in a wide variety of forms including films, fibers, microparticles, and nanoparticles . Microporous matrices of PCL have been investigated previously for vaginal delivery of the antivirals nevirapine and tenofovir, the antibacterial gentamicin and metronidazole (MTZ), and the antifungal miconazole, for prevention and treatment of STIs. The aim of this study was to explore the potential of PCL matrices for vaginal delivery of doxycycline through investigations of the preparation, morphology, thermal and compressive properties, and in vitro drug release of doxycycline from PCL matrices.…”

“…Anti‐HIV activity of NVP released from PCL matrices were assayed using luciferase‐expressing, VSV‐G pseudo‐typed HIV‐1 as previously described . Briefly, HeLa cells (ATCC number CCL‐2) were cultured in RPMI 1640 (Invitrogen Corporation, Melbourne, Australia) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Life Technologies Australia Pty Ltd., Victoria, Australia), 100 mg/mL streptomycin and 100 U/mL penicillin at 37°C and 5% CO 2 .…”

“…Anti-HIV activity of NVP released from PCL matrices were assayed using luciferase-expressing, VSV-G pseudo-typed HIV-1 as previously described. 14 Briefly, HeLa cells (ATCC number CCL-2) were cultured in RPMI 1640 (Invitrogen Corporation, Melbourne, Australia) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Life Technologies Australia Pty Ltd., Victoria, Australia), 100 mg/mL streptomycin and 100 U/mL penicillin at 37 • C and 5% CO 2 . HeLa cells (10 5 cells/mL) were seeded in 24well plates to achieve confluence above 80% after 24 h. Aliquots (100 :L) of the SVF release medium collected at day 1, 7, 14 and 23 which had contained drug-free matrices or NVP-loaded matrices were filtered through a 0.22-:m membrane and fivefold dilutions were added to each well.…”
