Microscopic and spectroscopic investigation of bioactive glasses for antibiotic controlled release

5-Fluorouracil loaded fibrinogen nanoparticles for cancer drug delivery applications

“…In FT-IR spectrum of fibrinogen, a characteristic peaks of amide I, amide II and amide III were confirmed at 1639, 1400 and 1303 cm −1 respectively [16], where in the FNPs, only a peak shift was observed. It could be due to the cross linking mechanism of divalent cations and the three types of amide bonds which are having slight negative charge and also carboxylic groups.…”

Evaluation of antibacterial and cytotoxic effects of nano-sized bioactive glass/collagen composites releasing tetracycline hydrochloride

“…; Cavalu et al . ) and also tested for their antibacterial activity in vitro and in vivo (Domingues et al . ).…”

“…Bioactive glasses have been investigated widely as carriers for many drugs including antibiotics (Mouriño and Boccaccini 2010;Hum and Boccaccini 2012;Arcos and Vallet-Reg ı 2013). In particular, TCH was incorporated onto bioactive glasses mainly by sol gel method (Andrade et al 2006(Andrade et al , 2009Zhao et al 2008;Cavalu et al 2013) and also tested for their antibacterial activity in vitro and in vivo (Domingues et al 2004). Data showed that the drug release behaviour was strongly dependent on the bioactive glass system and the CaO content in some cases (Zhao et al 2008).…”

In vitro short-time stability of a bioactive glass-chitosan composite coating evaluated by using electrochemical methods

“…The gel was maturated at room temperature for 70 days and then heat treated at 310°C for 1 hour. The obtained material was morpho-structural characterized as shown in the previous published paper [15].…”

“…Its characterization from morpho-structural point of view was the purpose of another published paper [15]. The main aim of this paper was the characterisation of a composite matrix obtained by immobilisation of a new BG into a Chit film on the surface of glassy carbon electrode by electrochemical techniques like cyclic voltammetry (CV) and EIS, in view to estimate the evolution in time of the changes appearing at the biocompatible GBchitosan/SBF interface.…”
