Formulation Optimization of Gentamicin Loaded Eudragit RS100 Microspheres Using Factorial Design Study

Abstract: Gentamicin-Eudragit RS100 microspheres were prepared by modified double emulsion method. A 3 2 full factorial experiment was designed to study the effects of the composition of outer aqueous phase in terms of amount of glycerol (viscosity effect) and sodium chloride (osmotic pressure gradient effect) on the entrapment efficiency and % yield and microsphere size. The results of analysis of variance test for responses measured indicated that the test is significant (pϾ0.05). The contribution of sodium chloride c… Show more

“…The addition of antibacterial agents into electrospun fibers has been a thrust area of research for clinicians especially as antibiotic-resistant bacteria strains increasingly emerge [31]. Gentamicin sulfate is a bactericidal aminoglycoside antibiotic that is widely used for the treatment of bacterial infections [32]. Electrospun nanofibers could increase the drug efficiency and drug solubility in aqueous solution due to their high surface-to-volume ratio.…”

“…Propranolol is 8-10 times less powerful than it. It requires frequent administration of doses to maintain therapeutic drug levels since it rapidly absorbs from the gastrointestinal tract with a peak plasma concentration of 5-10 ng/mL after 1 h and is metabolised up to 80% in the liver with a mean half-life of 2.0-2.5 h [4] Swarnlata et al [22] two different kinds of polymer patches were created: one using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) alone and the other combining hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and ethyl cellulose (EC). HPMC 10% and EC 10% polymer solutions were made using a 1:1 combination of methanol and chloroform.…”

“…The wound should be free from infection and all factors inhibiting natural healing process should be absent. The treatment becomes difficult as the bacterium is localized intracellularly since all the antibiotics are effective against the microbes in vitro 5 .…”
