This study aimed to develop drug delivery system of doxycycline-loaded polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres. The investigated microsphere formulation can be considered for local application in bone infections and degenerative joint diseases, which generally require long-term treatments via systemic drugs. PCL-14 kDa and 65 kDa were used in microsphere preparation. Before release, the microspheres were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The mean particle size of microspheres was in the range of 74-122 mu m and their drug loadings ranged between 10 and 30%. In vitro release profiles were described using the Higuchi and the Korsmeyer-Peppas equations. Diffusion model was applied to experimental data for estimating diffusion coefficients of microspheres; calculated as between 4.5 x 10(-10) and 9.5 x 10(-10) cm(2)/s. Although long-term release from microspheres of PCL-14 kDa obeyed diffusion model, PCL-65 kDa microspheres showed this tendency only for some period. Modeling studies showed that the drug release mechanism was mainly dependent on loading and molecular weight differences. Release behavior of PCL-65 kDa microspheres, however, might be better represented by derivation of a different equation to model for the total release period. (c) 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

Tailoring the magnetic behavior of polymeric particles for bioapplications YAKAR, ARZU; Tansik, Gulistan; Keskin, Tugba; Gündüz, Ufuk (2013-05-01) In this study, magnetic polymeric nanoparticles were prepared use in for targeted drug delivery. First, iron oxide (Fe3O4) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized by coprecipitation with ferrous and ferric chloride salts. Then, to render the MNPs hydrophobic, the surfaces were covered with oleic acid. Finally, the hydrophobic MNPs (H-MNPs) were encapsulated with polymer. The emulsion evaporation technique was used for the preparation of polymer-coated H-MNP. Poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and c...
Surface functionalization of SBA - 15 particles for amoxicillin delivery Sevimli, Filiz F; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Department of Chemistry (2011) There are several studies in order to control drug delivery, decrease the toxicity of drugs and also for novel biomedical applications. It is necessary to be able to control the release of the drug within the body by using drug delivery systems. Mesoporous silica compounds have only been discovered twenty years ago and they have already attracted many researchers to study these materials for several applications. SBA-15 particles have a highly ordered regular structure and are a good matrix for guest-host a...
The Antiproliferative Effect of Celecoxib Loaded pNIPAM Nanoparticles Bayyurt, Banu; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2012-09-01) The aim of this study was to design a drug delivery system based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) nanoparticles (NPs). The model drug, Celecoxib, is a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor and has a great potential in chemoprevention and treatment of various cancer types, however, the clinical use is limited due to the side effects on the cardiovascular system which is most probably due to the high doses used in clinical applications. In this study, a novel nanoparticle preparation approach, nanoprecipitation, ...
Synthesis and characterization of fatty acid based hyperbranched polymers for anti-cancer drug delivery Güç, Esra; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2008) Conventional methods of chemotherapy requires novel therapy systems due to serious side effects and inefficiency of drug administration. In recent years many studies are carried out to improve drug delivery systems. Polymers are one of the most important elements for drug delivery research due to their versatility. By the discovery of dendritic polymers, drug delivery studies gained a new vision. Highly branched monodisperse structure, multiple sites of attachment, well-defined size and controllable physica...
