pH-controlled delivery of gentamicin sulfate from orthopedic devices preventing nosocomial infections

Résumé

Since the beginning of the 1970s, controlled release technology has witnessed great advancement, and motivated numerous researchers in materials science. These systems overcome the drawbacks of traditional drug dosage form, and offer more effective and favorable methods to optimize drug delivery in optimum dose to specific sites or to prolong delivery duration. This paper deals with the synthesis of pH-controlled drug delivery systems for bone implant, allowing the local release of gentamicin sulfate (GS), an antibiotic commonly used to prevent infections during orthopedic surgeries. We present a biomaterial synthesis allowing the controlled release of GS at the site of surgical implantation (over an adjustable period of time). In our design, spherical nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized by the chosen antibiotic (Gentamicin sulfate, GS), are chemically anchored to the biomaterial surface. A cleavage reaction of the chemical bond between NPs and GS, effected by the contact of material with a solution presenting an acidic pH (in the case of infection, there is a decrease of the physiological medium pH), induces controlled release of the bioactive molecule in its native form. In this paper, we discuss the synthesis of a bioactive titanium based biomaterial in general, and the grafting of the NPs onto the titanium surfaces in particular. We have paid particular attention to the characterization of the drug surface density and the release kinetic of the active molecule as a function of the pH. In vitro bacterial growth inhibition tests after GS delivery at acidic pH (with Staphylococcus aureus) have also been carried out in order to prove the efficiency of such biomaterials.
