“…PMMA is a highly hydrophobic polymer, and is thus impervious to drug diffusion [31]. The release of ciprofloxacin from samples assayed can be explained by the Van De Belt theory [32], as during the first hours of the experiment (24 hours) only ciprofloxacin molecules located in the superficial layers were released.…”

“…Previous papers showed that around 3% of gentamicin [31,34] and vancomycin [18] were released. These values are very similar to the ones of our study, 2.5-5.5%, depending on the conditions.…”

“…10,20 Three discs of different diameter NT-G were each individually immersed in 1 mL of PBS in a 24-well plate at a temperature of 37°C with an agitation at 100 rpm. FlatTi in 1 mL of PBS was used as a parallel control.…”

“…The samples were analyzed for drug content using a colorimetric assay. 20 Briefly, the o-phthaldialdehyde reagent was formulated by adding 2.5 g of o-phthaldialdehyde (Sigma-Aldrich), 62.5 mL of methanol (Sigma-Aldrich), and 3 mL of 2-mercaptoethanol (Sigma-Aldrich) to 560 mL of sodium borate (Sigma-Aldrich) in distilled water. The reagent was stored in a brown bottle in a dark chamber for at least 24 hours prior to use.…”

“…11 Further details on this method can be found elsewhere. 11,24 For the spectrophotometric determination, equal volumes of GTMcontaining solutions, o-Phtaldialdehyde reagent and isopropanol were mixed. After 30 min of incubation at room temperature, the absorbance was measured at 332 nm.…”
