The aim of this study was to describe a sustained drug release system based on chitosan salts for vancomycin hydrochloride delivery. Chitosan lactate, chitosan aspartate, chitosan glutamate and chitosan hydrochloride were prepared by spray-drying technique. Vancomycin hydrochloride was used as a model peptidic drug, the nasal sustained release of which should avoid first-pass metabolism in the liver. This in-vitro study evaluated the influence of chitosan salts on the release behaviour of vancomycin hydrochloride from the physical mixtures at pH 5.5 and 7.4. In-vitro release of vancomycin was retarded by chitosan salts and, in particular, chitosan hydrochloride provided the lowest release of vancomycin.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to describe a sustained drug release system based on chitosan salts for vancomycin hydrochloride delivery. Chitosan lactate, chitosan aspartate, chitosan glutamate and chitosan hydrochloride were prepared by spray-drying technique. Vancomycin hydrochloride was used as a model peptidic drug, the nasal sustained release of which should avoid first-pass metabolism in the liver. This in-vitro study evaluated the influence of chitosan salts on the release behaviour of vancomycin hydrochloride from the physical mixtures at pH 5.5 and 7.4. In-vitro release of vancomycin was retarded by chitosan salts and, in particular, chitosan hydrochloride provided the lowest release of vancomycin.
