In this study, enhanced antibacterial activity was achieved by loading norfloxacin into improved hydrogels and forming a complex with cyclodextrin. The release profile of norfloxacin was successfully modulated with the use of cyclodextrin, demonstrating controlled-release properties.
In the last decade, numerous innovative strategies have been used to obtain highly efficient synthetic or semisynthetic biomaterials. Between these innovative biomaterials, hydrogels occupy a distinct place due to their superior biological and physico-chemical characteristics. Alginate is a natural linear polysaccharide with important physico-chemical and biological properties. Recently, we obtained a new hydrogel based on alginate and phytic acid with improved physico-chemical properties. In the present study, the hydrogels previously obtained were tested in terms of their biological properties and possibilities of use in the biomedical field. For this purpose, the hydrogels were loaded with norfloxacin (NRF), an antibacterial compound utilised in the treatment against Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms. Unfortunately, NRF has low solubility and permeability. In order to provide protection against loss, but also for enhanced bioavailability, and controlled-release of norfloxacin, a drug inclusion complex with cyclodextrin was realized. The effect of complexation on the release profile was highlighted. The addition of NRF to the hydrogel matrices greatly improved the antibacterial activity of the tested compounds. The presence of CD did not affect the homogeneity of the drug distribution. Changes in the polymeric matrix structure were registered after the incorporation of the drug, which were attributed to the relaxation of the network subsequently to the penetration and diffusion of the drug solution simultaneously with the swelling process. The release of NRF from Alg_PA polymeric network has been successfully modulated by the use of CD as a host molecule.
