- Abstract
PLGA (Lactic- co-glycolic acid) coated chitosan microspheres loaded with hydroxyapatite and doxycycline hyclate complex were developed in the present study for periodontal delivery. A modified single emulsion method was adopted for the development of microspheres. Formulation was optimized on the basis of particle size, drug loading and encapsulation efficiency with the central composite design using 2
3 factorial design. Microspheres were optimized and electron microscopy revealed their spherical shape and porous nature. In-vitro study showed initial burst and then sustained release behavior of the formulation for 14 days. Further, in-vitro antibacterial study performed on E. coli (ATCC-25922) and S. aureus (ATCC-29213) revealed concentration dependent activity. Also, in-vitro cyto-toxicity assessment ensures biocompatibility of the formulation with the fibroblast's cells. Overall, the quality by design assisted PLGA microspheres, demonstrated the desired attributes and were found suitable for periodontal drug delivery., Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (© 2021 The Author(s).)- Published
