Biocompatibility of polyhydroxybutyrate microspheres: in vitro and in vivo evaluation

Abstract: Microspheres have been prepared from the resorbable linear polyester of β-hydroxybutyric acid (polyhydroxybutyrate, PHB) by the solvent evaporation technique and investigated in vitro and in vivo. Biocompatibility of the microspheres has been proved in tests in the culture of mouse fibroblast cell line NIH 3Т3 and in experiments on intramuscular implantation of the microspheres to Wistar rats for 3 months. Tissue response to the implantation of polymeric microspheres has been found to consist in a mild inflamm… Show more

“…The bacteria were cultivated in sterile conditions in a BioFlo 115 cultivator ("New Brunswick", USA) in a volume of 7.5 L using a mineral medium containing glucose [20]. The properties of the polymer have been reported elsewhere [21][22][23][24][25]. Thin films of P3HB were formed by casting a solution of the polymer in chloroform.…”

“…To the mixture, 3 ml of 0.65M boric acid, 0.5 ml iodine solution and 1.5 ml of distilled water were added. After 15 min incubation, absorbance was measured at 690 nm.Microsphere preparation (1% PVA at 800 rpm) procedure was followed with addition of BSA and gentamicin along with PHB (Shishatskaya ., 2008) Five mg of BSA and gentamicin loaded microspheres were immersed separately in 3 ml of contact lens solution, phosphate buffer (PBS) (pH, 7.2) and simulated body fluid (SBF) (Kokubo ., 1990). The Composition of simulated body fluid consisted pure water, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, potassium chloride, potassium phosphate dibasic trihydrate, magnesium chloride hexahydrate, calcium chloride, Sodium sulphate and Tris base.…”

“…As a recent example of research in this direction, Da Silva-Valenzuela et al [91] investigated production of nanocomposite microcapsules containing one of two clays for the purposes of drug delivery. This work was built upon earlier suggestions regarding the suitability of PHB microspheres for medical applications [92]. PHB/clay films were cast from chloroform as solvent and microcapsules were produced by a solvent-mediated emulsificationdiffusion technique [93].…”
