The preparation of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride-loaded chitosan and pectin microspheres: their evaluation in an animal osteomyelitis model.
Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride-loaded microspheres were prepared by a spray-drying method using pectin and chitosan. The effects of different polymers and drug ratios were investigated. The most appropriate carriers were selected by in vitro testing. A rat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis model was used to evaluate the effects of the loaded microspheres. The drug was released rapidly from the pectin carrier but this was more sustained in the chitosan formulation.Chitosan microspheres loaded with ciprofloxacin hydrochloride were more effective for the treatment of osteomyelitis than equivalent intramuscular antibiotics.
