By dropwise addition of a chitosan solution into different non-solvent, such as: 1 N and 2 N NaOH as well as 1 N NaOH: C2H5OH mixture (2:1, v/v) at temperature of 25 degrees C and 50 degrees C under stirring, the spherical pure chitosan microparticles were performed. As solvents for chitosan was used 0.1 N acetic acid or 0.1 N HCl. The immersion of the pure chitosan microparticles in hyaluronan solution led to complex microparticles, namely chitosan microparticles covered by a hyaluronan layer. For all the microparticles performed the behaviours in the retention process of two antibiotics: chloramphenicol succinate sodium salt and cefotaxime sodium salt were analyzed. Also, the study shows the release behaviour of cefotaxime sodium salt by the microparticles loaded with this drug. Among the microparticles performed a type of complex microparticles can be considered a suitable drug delivery system for cefotaxime. These microparticles were performed by dropwise addition of chitosan solution in 0.1 N acetic acid into the 1 N NaOH: C2H5OH (2:1, v/v) non-solvent at 20 degrees C for 3 h, followed by their washing up to alkalinity loss and the immersion in hyaluronan solution of 10 g/L concentration for 24 h.
