Ítem Activity of (2E)-3-(2, 3-dimetoxifenil)-1-(4-metilfenil) prop-2-en-1-ona in the presence of poli(maleic acid-co-2-vinyl-pyrrolidone) on a β-lactamase producing clinical isolate of Staphylococcus aureus(Universidad de Antioquia, 2012-01-01) Salamanca Mejía, Constaín HugoDue to the current problem of resistance to b-lactam antibiotics, it has become necessary, in search of a solution, to work with new molecules with pharmacological potential, and to use novel polymeric systems as matrices or pharmaceutical excipients. Objective: To evaluate the antibiotic activity of ampicillin combined with a synthetic chalcone-type compound, the (2E)-3-(2,3-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(4- methylphenyl) prop-2-en-1-one, on a clinical isolate of penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the presence of a water soluble polymer matrix known as poly(maleic acid-co-2-vinyl-pyrrolidone). Materials and methods: The synthetic compound and the polymeric matrix were obtained by previously described methods. Tests for antibiotic activity against the strain of penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus were done by the broth dilution technique which provided the minimal inhibitory concentrations of the compounds tested. Results: The chalcone-ampicillin mix shows lesser antibiotic effect than the ampicillin-sulbactam used as referent. However, when such mix is combined with the polymer matrix, antibiotic activity significantly increases as evidenced by decrease in the minimal inhibitory concentration with respect to the ampicillin-sulbactam referent.
Ítem Physicochemical characterization of in situ drug-polymer nanocomplex formed between zwitterionic drug and ionomeric material in aqueous solution(Elsevier, 2017-03-01) Villada, Juan D.Biocompatible polymeric materials with the potential to form functional structures, in association with different therapeutic molecules, in physiological media, represent a great potential for biological and pharmaceutical applications. Therefore, here the formation of a nano-complex between a synthetic cationic polymer and model drug (ampicillin trihydrate) was studied. The formed complex was characterized by size and zeta potential measurements, using dynamic light scattering and capillary electrophoresis. Moreover, the chemical and thermodynamically stability of these complexes were studied. The ionomeric material, here referred as EuCl, was obtained by equimolar reaction between Eudragit E and HCl. The structural characterization was carried out by potentiometric titration, FTIR spectroscopy, and DSC. The effect of pH, time, polymer concentration and ampicillin/polymer molar ratio over the hydrodynamic diameter and zeta potential were establishedÍtem Relationship between surface properties and in vitro drug release from a compressed matrix containing an amphiphilic polymer materia.(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2016-06-24) Pineda, Diego; Corre, Clara E.; Yarce, Cristhian J.; Salamanca Mejía, Constaín HugoThe performance of compressed tablet drug delivery systems made using polymeric materials depend on multiple factors, such as surface properties like contact angle, surface free energy and water absorption rate, besides the release mechanisms driven by the kind of polymer used. Hence, it should be possible to establish a relationship between the surface properties and the drug release kinetics. Compressed tablets with different proportions of poly(maleic acid-alt-octadecene) potassium salt (0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%) were prepared. Blends of a model drug (ampicillin trihydrate) and the polymer material were analyzed by DSC.
