Preparation and characterization of vancomycin-loaded chitosan/PVA/PEG hydrogels for wound dressing

This study describes a drug-loaded porous hydrogel for delivery of vancomycin. Hydrogels based on chitosan (CS), Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and Polyethylene glycol (PEG) were prepared by lyophilization. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and fourier transform i...

description This study describes a drug-loaded porous hydrogel for delivery of vancomycin. Hydrogels based on chitosan (CS), Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and Polyethylene glycol (PEG) were prepared by lyophilization. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used to characterize the structures. Water uptake percentage and vancomycin release were also measured. The antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus was investigated. According to the results, mean pore diameter (MPD) was decreased by addition of PEG and reached to 1.3 ± 0.5 μ m. On the other hand, 43% decrease in water content of the hydrogels showed along with the incorporation of PEG. The inhibition zone confirmed antibacterial effect of the vancomycin-loaded hydrogels. The porous CS/PVA/PEG hydrogels containing vancomycin could be good candidates to potentially be used as wound dressing.
