Characterization and Microbiological Application of Ciprofloxacin Loaded in Natural Rubber Latex Membranes

Abstract: Natural rubber latex (NRL) from Hevea brasiliensis presents interesting characteristics in biomedical research due to its ability to stimulate angiogenesis, cellular adhesion and formation of extracellular matrix. A broad spectrum antibacterial agent used in skin infection is Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CIP). It is a fluoroquinolone employed to treat different bacterial infections caused by gram-positive and gram-negative microorganism. The aim of the present study is to promove Original Research Article

“…The outcomes obtained are similar to those reported by Garms et al 62 They incorporated moxifloxacin in the NRL membranes. So far, it was observed that the mechanical resistance obtained for this biomaterial is suitable for biomedical applications once the Young’s modulus (0.84 MPa) and rupture tension (1.12 MPa) are in accordance with the values reported in the literature associated with NRL application in human skin (0.01 to 50 MPa for Young’s modulus and 1 to 40 MPa for rupture tension).…”

“…These results are in agreement with other works, which indicated the drug structural integrity (sodium diclofenac, glycerol, moxifloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and ketoprofen) after incorporation into the NRL. 37,38,41,62,67 Therefore, it can be concluded that the characteristic bands of IBF and the NRL were preserved in the FTIR spectrum of the IBF-NRL membrane, as it was not observed the appearance of new bands or the disappearance of others.…”

“…Figure 4 shows the ketoprofen release as a function of time. The large bolus of drug released before stability is called "burst release" (0-24 h) due to the drug close or adsorbed on the surface of the NRL membrane [27,28].…”
