The conventional treatment with regular red-blood-cell transfusions and simultaneous chelation of excess iron with DFO (desferrioxamine) improves quality of life of thalassaemic patients while increasing their rate of survival considerably. Although DFO is the main iron-chelating drug currently utilized, it has various drawbacks, including high cost, poor oral effectiveness, toxicity and short plasma half-life. it has to be administered by slow, subcutaneous infusion during blood transfusion for 8-12 h at night, 5-7 nights a week, and this leads to a very poor patient compliance. In order to avoid frequent and uncomfortable infusions of DFO, application of controlled-release systems might be alternative routes in the supportive treatment of thalassaemia. In the present study, GMs (gelatin microspheres) and GFs (gelatin films) were prepared by coacervation and casting methods respectively to develop controlled DFO-release systems. Cross-linking by glutar aldehyde and carbodi-imide were performed to increase the stability of gelatin matrices. Microspheres and films prepared without the addition of crosslinker degraded completely in 4 h. On the other hand, addition of cross-linker extended this time from hours to weeks depending on the added amount. Therefore the amount of DFO released from microspheres in 7 days was found to be in the range 12-82%, whereas the amount permeated through the films in 5.0 h was found to be in the range 34-67%. GFs were elastic and demonstrated good mechanical properties. Films achieved 0.14-0.69 MPa tensile strength, with 0.12-1.29 MPa elastic modulus and 26.49-109.38% strain values at break point. These studies showed that gelatin-based controlled-release systems could be improved and could be good candidates for the production of long-term DFO-carrying systems.

Characterization and Evaluation of Triamcinolone, Raloxifene, and Their Dual-Loaded Microspheres as Prospective Local Treatment System in Rheumatic Rat Joints
Ocal, Yigit; Kurum, Baris; Karahan, Siyami; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Ozen, Seza; Keskin, Dilek (Elsevier BV, 2014-8)
In this study, injectable microspheres were developed for the local treatment of joint degeneration in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Microspheres loaded with triamcinolone (TA), a corticosteroid drug, and/or raloxifene (Ral), a cartilage regenerative drug, were prepared with a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer, polycaprolactone (PCL). Microspheres were optimized for particle size, structural properties, drug release, and loading properties. In vitro release of Ral was very slow because of the low solubil...
Development of a calcium phosphate-gelatin composite as a bone substitute and its use in drug release
Yaylaoglu, MB; Korkusuz, P; Ors, U; Korkusuz, F; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (1999-04-01)
This study was carried out to develop a calcium phosphate-gelatin composite implant that would mimic the structure and function of bone for use in filling voids or gaps and to release bioactive compounds like drugs, growth hormones into the implant site to assist healing. XDS analysis of the synthesized calcium phosphate revealed a calcium to phosphorus molar ratio of ca. 2.30, implying a less erodible material than hydroxyapatite (1.67). Release of the antibiotic gentamicin from the implant was with a burs...
EGF containing gelatin-based wound dressings
Ulubayram, K; Cakar, AN; Korkusuz, P; Ertan, C; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2001-06-01)
In case of bulk loss of tissue or non-healing wounds such as burns, trauma, diabetic, decubitus and venous stasis ulcers, a proper wound dressing is needed to cover the wound area, protect the damaged tissue, and if possible to activate the cell proliferation and stimulate the healing process. In this study, synthesis of a novel polymeric bilayer wound dressing containing epidermal growth-factor (EGF)-loaded microspheres was aimed. For this purpose, a natural, nontoxic and biocompatible material, gelatin, w...
Xanthan-gelatin and xanthan-gelatin-keratin wound dressings for local delivery of Vitamin C
Demir, Gizem Cigdem; Erdemli, Özge; Keskin, Dilek; Tezcaner, Ayşen (2022-02-01)
Recently, functional dressings that can protect the wound area from dehydration and bacterial infection and support healing have gained importance in place of passive dressings. This study aimed to develop temporary and regenerative xanthan/gelatin (XGH) and keratin/xanthan/gelatin hydrogels (KXGHs) that have high absorption capacity and applicability as a wound dressing that can provide local delivery of Vitamin C (VC). Firstly, xanthan/gelatin hydrogels were produced by crosslinking with different glycero...
Gelatin Based Scaffolds and Effect of EGF Dose on Wound Healing
Bilgic, H.; Demiriz, M.; Ozler, M.; Ide, Tayfun; Dogan, N.; Gumus, S.; Kızıltay, Aysel; Endoğan Tanır, Tuğba; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2013-04-01)
In this study, gelatin based biodegradable scaffolds (GS) containing various amounts of epidermal growth factor (EGF) were prepared and applied to full skin defects created on rats in order to investigate the EGF dose effect on healing process. Scaffolds were prepared by freeze drying technique and stabilized with either glutaraldehyde (GA) or 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDAC). In vitro cytotoxicity of the prepared scaffolds was assessed by using human skin fibroblast secondary culture (...
