JOURNAL OF BIOMATERIALS SCIENCE. POLYMER EDITION 2023; 34:1858-1875. [PMID: 37029899 DOI: 10.1080/09205063.2023.2193495] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/09/2023]
Abstract
In this research, a photocurable composite based on tetracalcuim phosphate ceramic and, hydroxyethyl methacrylate-modified poly(acrylic-maleic acid) was developed and studied as a potential drug delivery system for bone defects. Different concentrations (5, 10 and 20 wt. %) of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, Indomethacin, were loaded on to the composite and its release behavior was investigated in phosphate buffered solution during 504 h. The obtained release data were fitted by both power law (Peppas) and Weibull equations. The composites were also characterized after different soaking periods using X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transforming infrared spectroscopy. The results of XRD and SEM analyses revealed the formation of nanosized needle/flake-like apatite crystals on the composites surfaces; however, better apatite formation was observed for the composites loaded with higher amounts of Indomethacin. The morphological observations and quantitative estimations revealed that the loaded composites were gradually degraded in the phosphate-buffered saline. Moreover, a controlled release of Indomethacin was found from the composites in which a higher drug concentration led to a more drug level as well as sustained release profile. In drug release modeling, better regression coefficient was obtained from the Weibull equation, compared to the power law, meaning that the Weibull equation suggests a better description of the indomethacin release from the composites during the whole period of the test. In conclusion, the photocurable composite with apatite formation ability can be successfully used for the controlled release of indomethacin as an anti-inflammatory drug in bone defects.

Functionalization of Octacalcium Phosphate Bone Graft with Cisplatin and Zoledronic Acid: Physicochemical and Bioactive Properties. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:11633.

Abstract
Bones are the fourth most frequent site of metastasis from malignant tumors, including breast cancer, prostate cancer, melanoma, etc. The bioavailability of bone tissue for chemotherapy drugs is extremely low. This requires a search for new approaches of targeted drug delivery to the tumor growth zone after surgery treatment. The aim of this work was to develop a method for octacalcium phosphate (OCP) bone graft functionalization with the cytostatic drug cisplatin to provide the local release of its therapeutic concentrations into the bone defect. OCP porous ceramic granules (OCP ceramics) were used as a platform for functionalization, and bisphosphonate zoledronic acid was used to mediate the interaction between cisplatin and OCP and enhance their binding strength. The obtained OCP materials were studied using scanning electron and light microscopy, high-performance liquid chromatography, atomic emission spectroscopy, and real-time PCR. In vitro and in vivo studies were performed on normal and tumor cell lines and small laboratory animals. The bioactivity of initial OCP ceramics was explored and the efficiency of OCP functionalization with cisplatin, zoledronic acid, and their combination was evaluated. The kinetics of drug release and changes in ceramics properties after functionalization were studied. It was established that zoledronic acid changed the physicochemical and bioactive properties of OCP ceramics and prolonged cisplatin release from the ceramics. In vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed the biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, and osteoinductivity, as well as cytostatic and antitumor properties of the obtained materials. The use of OCP ceramics functionalized with a cytostatic via the described method seems to be promising in clinics when primary or metastatic tumors of the bone tissue are removed.

Design of Antibacterial Apatitic Composite Cement Loaded with Ciprofloxacin: Investigations on the Physicochemical Properties, Release Kinetics, and Antibacterial Activity. Int J Pharm 2023; 637:122861. [PMID: 36948475 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.122861] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/24/2023]
Abstract
This work aims to develop an injectable and antibacterial composite cement for bone substitution and prevention/treatment of bone infections. This cement is composed of calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, bioactive glass, sodium alginate, and ciprofloxacin. The effect of ciprofloxacin on the microstructure, chemical composition, setting properties, cohesion, injectability, and compressive strength was investigated. The in vitro drug release kinetics and the antibacterial activity of ciprofloxacin-loaded composites against staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli pathogens were investigated. XRD and FTIR analysis demonstrated that the formulated cements are composed of a nanocrystalline carbonated apatite analogous to the mineral part of the bone. The evaluation of the composite cement's properties revealed that the incorporation of 3 and 9 wt% of ciprofloxacin affects the microstructural and physicochemical properties of the cement, resulting in a prolonged setting time, and a slight decrease in injectability and compressive strength. The in vitro drug release study revealed sustained release profiles over 18 days. The amounts of ciprofloxacin released per day (0.2 -15.2 mg/L) depend on the cement composition and the amount of ciprofloxacin incorporated. The antibacterial activity of ciprofloxacin-loaded cement composites attested to their effectiveness to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

Abstract
Since antiquity, curcumin, from turmeric is utilized in traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda) to treat bone disorders. However, the hydrophobic nature and poor absorption of curcumin limit its clinical applications. There is a need to develop a novel strategy that can significantly enhance curcumin's biological properties. The current work reports the utilization of Zn2+-curcumin complex from a fluoride doped hydroxyapatite matrix for osteosarcoma inhibition, osteoblast growth, and anti-bacterial properties. The interaction between Zn2+ and curcumin increases curcumin release by ~ 2.5 folds. The fabricated drug delivery system shows up to ~ 1.6 times enhancement in osteoblast cell viability. The presence of curcumin results in ~ 4 times more osteosarcoma inhibition compared to control. The antibacterial efficacy of this system is confirmed against Staphylococcus aureus, due to the presence of antibacterial fluoride, zinc, and curcumin. This multifunctional drug delivery system can be utilized for various bone-tissue engineering and dental applications.

Abstract
A novel way of obtaining highly porous cements is foaming them with the use of nonionic surface active agents (surfactants). In this study, foamed calcium phosphate cements (fCPCs) intended for in situ use were fabricated by a surfactant-assisted foaming process. Three different surface active agents, Tween 20, Tween 80 and Tetronic 90R4, were used. The amount of surfactant, based on its critical micelle concentration and cytotoxicity as well as foaming method, was determined. It has been established that in order to avoid cytotoxic effects the concentration of all applied surfactants in the cement liquid phases should not exceed 1.25 g L−1. It was found that Tetronic 90R4 had the lowest cytotoxicity whereas Tween 20 had the highest. The influence of the type of surfactant used in the fabrication process of bioactive macroporous cement on the physicochemical and biological properties of fCPCs was studied. The obtained materials reached higher than 50 vol% open porosity and possessed compressive strength which corresponds to the values for cancellous bone. The highest porosity and compressive strength was found for the material with the addition of Tween 80. In vitro investigations proved the chemical stability and high bioactive potential of the examined materials. A novel way of obtaining highly porous cements is foaming them with the use of nonionic surface active agents (surfactants).![]()

Abstract
An in vivo study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the incorporation of fibers of poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid, PLGA) and poly(isoprene) blend and recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) in a macroporous scaffold of α-tricalcium phosphate cement (α-TCP) samples inserted into calvarial defects (8 mm in diameter) of 48 Wistar rats. The samples of α-TCP + PLGA/poly(isoprene) blend fibers were also submitted to a mechanical test of flexural strength. The animals of the different experimental groups [1] α-TCP (n = 6); [2] α-TCP + PLGA/poly(isoprene) blend fibers (n = 6); [3] α-TCP + rhGH, (n = 6) and [4] α-TCP + PLGA/poly(isoprene) blend fibers + rhGH, (n = 6) (the numbers within square brackets identify the experimental groups), after two weeks (subdivision "a") and four weeks (subdivision "b"), were euthanized and the implants removed for histological analysis. There was no statistical difference (p > 0.05) between the samples with and without fibers in the mechanical test. Light microscopy revealed good integration of the material in the host tissue, represented by tissue penetration into the macropores and adequate angiogenesis. In the two-week period, the groups [3a] and [4a] were significantly superior (p < 0.05) to the other groups with regard to angiogenesis and bone neoformation. In the four-week period, the group [3b] was significantly superior (p < 0.05) to the other groups with regard to bone neoformation. We conclude that the macroporous α-TCP scaffold used in this study has low mechanical resistance, is biocompatible and has significantly improved the osteoconductive capacity when rhGH is incorporated into its structure.

Abstract
In this study, nano-doped calcium phosphate cement delivery systems (poly (γ-glutamic acid)/β-tricalcium phosphate/calcium phosphate ceramics and nano (γ-glutamic acid)/β-tricalcium phosphate/calcium phosphate ceramic) were fabricated, and low doses (10 µg/g) of two growth factors, insulin-like growth factor-1 and bone morphogenetic protein-2, were encapsulated then sequentially released. We characterized the delivery systems using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction and measured washout resistance and compressive strength, and thus optimized the most appropriate proportioning of delivery systems for the two growth factors. One of the growth factors was absorbed by the nano-poly (γ-glutamic acid)/β-tricalcium phosphate, which was then mixed into the calcium phosphate ceramic solid phase to create a new solid phase calcium phosphate ceramic. Nano-poly (γ-glutamic acid)/β-tricalcium phosphate/calcium phosphate ceramic carriers were then prepared by blending the new calcium phosphate ceramic solid phase powder with a solution of the remaining growth factor. The effects of different release patterns (studying sequential behavior) of insulin-like growth factor-1 and bone morphogenetic protein-2 on osteogenic proliferation and differentiation of the MC3t3-E1 mouse osteoblast cell were investigated. This combinational delivery system provided a controlled release of the two growth factors, in which nano-doping significantly affected their release kinetics. The incorporation of dual growth factors could potentially stimulate bone healing and promoting bone ingrowth processes at a low dose.

Abstract
This paper reports on strong and bioactive bone cement based on ternary bioactive SiO2-CaO-P2O5 glass particles and a photocurable resin comprising hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and poly(acrylic/maleic) acid. The as-cured composite represented a compressive strength of about 95 MPa but it weakened during soaking in simulated body fluid, SBF, qua its compressive strength reached to about 20 MPa after immersing for 30 days. Biodegradability of the composite was confirmed by reducing its initial weight (~32%) as well as decreasing the molecular weight of early cured resin during the soaking procedure. The composite exhibited in vitro calcium phosphate precipitation in the form of nanosized carbonated hydroxyapatite, which indicates its bone bonding ability. Proliferation of calvarium-derived newborn rat osteoblasts seeded on top of the composite was observed during incubation at 37 °C, meanwhile, an adequate cell supporting ability was found. Consequently, it seems that the produced composite is an appropriate alternative for bone defect injuries, because of its good cell responses, high compressive strength and ongoing biodegradability, though more in vivo experiments are essential to confirm this assumption.

Abstract
The introduction of silver, either in the liquid phase (as silver nitrate solution: Ag(L)) or in the solid phase (as silver phosphate salt: Ag(S)) of calcium carbonate-calcium phosphate (CaCO3-CaP) bone cement, its influence on the composition of the set cement (C-Ag(L) and C-Ag(S) cements with a Ca/Ag atomic ratio equal to 10.3) and its biological properties were investigated. The fine characterisation of the chemical setting of silver-doped and reference cements was performed using FTIR spectroscopy. We showed that the formation of apatite was enhanced from the first hours of maturation of C-Ag(L) cement in comparison with the reference cement, whereas a longer period of maturation (about 10 h) was required to observe this increase for C-Ag(S) cement, although in both cases, silver was present in the set cements mainly as silver phosphate. The role of silver nitrate on the setting chemical reaction is discussed and a chemical scheme is proposed. Antibacterial activity tests (S. aureus and S. epidermidis) and in vitro cytotoxicity tests (human bone marrow stromal cells (HBMSC)) showed that silver-loaded CaCO3-CaP cements had antibacterial properties (anti-adhesion and anti-biofilm formation) without a toxic effect on HBMSC cells, making C-Ag(S) cement a promising candidate for the prevention of bone implant-associated infections.

Abstract
In early 1980s, researchers discovered self-setting calcium orthophosphate cements, which are bioactive and biodegradable grafting bioceramics in the form of a powder and a liquid. After mixing, both phases form pastes, which set and harden forming either a non-stoichiometric calcium deficient hydroxyapatite or brushite. Since both of them are remarkably biocompartible, bioresorbable and osteoconductive, self-setting calcium orthophosphate formulations appear to be promising bioceramics for bone grafting. Furthermore, such formulations possess excellent molding capabilities, easy manipulation and nearly perfect adaptation to the complex shapes of bone defects, followed by gradual bioresorption and new bone formation. In addition, reinforced formulations have been introduced, which might be described as calcium orthophosphate concretes. The discovery of self-setting properties opened up a new era in the medical application of calcium orthophosphates and many commercial trademarks have been introduced as a result. Currently such formulations are widely used as synthetic bone grafts, with several advantages, such as pourability and injectability. Moreover, their low-temperature setting reactions and intrinsic porosity allow loading by drugs, biomolecules and even cells for tissue engineering purposes. In this review, an insight into the self-setting calcium orthophosphate formulations, as excellent bioceramics suitable for both dental and bone grafting applications, has been provided.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate cements are used as synthetic bone grafts, with several advantages, such as their osteoconductivity and injectability. Moreover, their low-temperature setting reaction and intrinsic porosity allow for the incorporation of drugs and active principles in the material. It is the aim of the present work to: a) provide an overview of the different approaches taken in the application of calcium phosphate cements for drug delivery in the skeletal system, and b) identify the most significant achievements. The drugs or active principles associated to calcium phosphate cements are classified in three groups, i) low molecular weight drugs; ii) high molecular weight biomolecules; and iii) ions.

Abstract
In this research, light cured calcium phosphate cements (LCCPCs) were developed by mixing a powder phase (P) consisting of tetracalcium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate and a photo-curable resin phase (L), mixture of hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA)/poly acrylic-maleic acid at various P/L ratios of 2.0, 2.4 and 2.8 g/mL. Mechanical strength, phase composition, chemical groups and microstructure of the cured cements were evaluated at pre-set times, i.e. before and after soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF). The proliferation of Rat-derived osteoblastic cells onto the LCCPCs as well as cytotoxicity of cement extracts were determined by cell counting and 3-{4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl}-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide assay after different culture times. It was estimated from Fourier transforming infrared spectra of cured cements that the setting process is ruled by polymerization of HEMA monomers as well as formation of calcium poly-carboxylate salts. Microstructure of the cured cements consisted of calcium phosphate particles surrounded by polymerized resin phase. Formation of nano-sized needlelike calcium phosphate phase on surfaces of cements with P/L ratios of 2.4 and 2.8 g/mL was confirmed by scanning electron microscope images and X-ray diffractometry (XRD) of the cured specimen soaked in SBF for 21 days. Also, XRD patterns revealed that the formed calcium phosphate layer was apatite phase in a poor crystalline form. Biodegradation of the cements was confirmed by weight loss, change in molecular weight of polymer and morphology of the samples after different soaking periods. The maximum compressive strength of LCCPCs governed by resin polymerization and calcium polycarboxylate salts formation was about 80 MPa for cement with P/L ratio of 2.8 g/mL, after incubation for 24 h. The strength of all cements decreased by decreasing P/L ratio as well as increasing soaking time. The preliminary cell studies revealed that LCCPCs could support proliferation of osteoblasts cultured on their surfaces and no cytotoxic effect was observed for the extracts of them.

Abstract
Calcium phosphates (CaPs) are the most widely used bone substitutes in bone tissue engineering due to their compositional similarities to bone mineral and excellent biocompatibility. In recent years, CaPs, especially hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate, have attracted significant interest in simultaneous use as bone substitute and drug delivery vehicle, adding a new dimension to their application. CaPs are more biocompatible than many other ceramic and inorganic nanoparticles. Their biocompatibility and variable stoichiometry, thus surface charge density, functionality, and dissolution properties, make them suitable for both drug and growth factor delivery. CaP matrices and scaffolds have been reported to act as delivery vehicles for growth factors and drugs in bone tissue engineering. Local drug delivery in musculoskeletal disorder treatments can address some of the critical issues more effectively and efficiently than the systemic delivery. CaPs are used as coatings on metallic implants, CaP cements, and custom designed scaffolds to treat musculoskeletal disorders. This review highlights some of the current drug and growth factor delivery approaches and critical issues using CaP particles, coatings, cements, and scaffolds towards orthopedic and dental applications.

Abstract
Coralline calcium-hydroxyapatite and calcium carbonate from Porites Porites coral were added to a polymeric matrix based on polyvinyl acetate (POVIAC(®)), to obtain a novel bone substitute composite as well as a system for the controlled drug (cephalexin) release. Composite samples with different compositions were characterized by physical-chemical and mechanical methods. Furthermore, the in vitro release profile of cephalexin and the kinetic behavior of its release from these composites were analyzed by appropriate mathematical models. It was shown that there is no chemical interaction between the inorganic filler and the polymer matrix, each conserving the original properties of the raw materials. The compressive mechanical strength and Young modulus of the composite with 17.5% of POVIAC(®), has better mechanical properties than those of cancellous bone. The variation of POVIAC(®) content can affect the cephalexin release kinetic in the composite. The cephalexin release mechanism from the composites can be considered as the result of the joint contribution of a prevailing Fickian diffusion and of polymer chain relaxation. It was also demonstrated that cephalexin is occluded inside the composites and not on their surface.

Abstract
In nature, organic matrix macromolecules play a critical role in enhancing the mechanical properties of biomineralized composites such as bone and teeth. Designing artificial matrix analogues is promising but challenging because relatively little is known about how natural matrix components function. Therefore, in lieu of using natural components, we created biomimetic matrices using genetically engineered elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) and then used them to construct mechanically robust ELP-hydroxyapatite (HAP) composites. ELPs were engineered with well-defined backbone charge distributions by periodic incorporation of negative, positive, or neutral side chains or with HAP-binding octaglutamic acid motifs at one or both protein termini. ELPs exhibited sequence-specific capacities to interact with ions, bind HAP, and disperse HAP nanoparticles. HAP-binding ELPs were incorporated into calcium phosphate cements, resulting in materials with improved mechanical strength, injectability, and antiwashout properties. The results demonstrate that rational design of genetically engineered polymers is a powerful system for determining sequence-property relationships and for improving the properties of organic-inorganic composites. Our approach may be used to further develop novel, multifunctional bone cements and expanded to the design of other advanced composites.

Abstract
Addition of sugar surfactants, sucrose fatty acid esters and alkylpolyglucosides, to calcium phosphate cement designed for bone reconstruction is described. Thanks to their surface activity and through their adsorption at the surface of the calcium phosphate particles, they both induced a strong increase in the porosity (quantified by Image Analysis) and brought a very good workability. Other properties typically studied for these cements are reported, including setting times, compressive strength, cohesion in water, and effect of sterilization on these properties. The whole study brought good insight in the interest of adding these mild surfactants to improve several properties of the calcium phosphate cement, without impairing their function.

Abstract
Osteomyelitis is a severe bone infection frequently caused by Staphylococcus aureus, which shows significant resistance to methicillin. One therapeutic treatment would be to insert a bone substitute loaded to an antibiotic, which would enable the bone to be filled while the illness is being treated. Linezolid is an oxazolidinone antibiotic with a large spectrum of action. It is effective against most Gram-positive bacteria and displays a specific mode of action. The aim of this work was to study the association of linezolid with a calcium phosphate-deficient apatite matrix. Granules containing 10% and 50% linezolid were prepared by wet granulation and characterized. Porosity analyses performed by mercury porosimetry and scanning electron microscopy revealed that grain porosity with 50% linezolid was higher than that of the grains containing 10% linezolid. NMR analyses showed no change in structure of linezolid when linked to calcium-deficient apatite. These results were confirmed by studying the antibacterial activity of linezolid, which remained proportional to the quantity of loaded linezolid, proving that the antibiotic released was active. The in vitro release time varied from 9 days for granules containing 10% linezolid to 26 days for granules containing 50% linezolid.

Abstract
In the present study, release properties of antibiotic-loaded cement-type nanocomposites of biomimetic apatite and calcium sulfate were studied. Nanocrystalline component of the nanocomposite was synthesized by soaking a mixture of calcium phosphate reactants in tris-buffered simulated body fluid (SBF). The release patterns of cephalexin and gentamicin from both pure calcium sulfate and nanocomposite cements into SBF were collected up to 144 h and fitted by Higuchi and Weibull equations. The effect of loaded antibiotics on physical properties of the cements was also evaluated. Fast release behavior of both antibiotics was obtained from calcium sulfate matrix, in which 80-85% of the loaded antibiotics were liberated during the first 10 h of elution. In contrast, an administered elution was acquired from nanonocomposite materials so that the release was controlled, in all cases, by a combined mechanism; major mechanism was drug diffusion through the matrix and the minor was matrix dissolution. The results showed that the initial setting time and injectability of cements were increased from 7 min and 71% for pure calcium sulfate cement (powder-to-liquid ratio = 2.5 g/mL) to 33 min and 95% for the nanocomposite cement containing 60 wt % apatite, respectively. The compressive strength of nanocomposite was about 0.9 MPa, nearly four times lower than that of pure calcium sulfate. In addition, the use of cephalexin monohydrate did not influence the setting time and compressive strength of the cements, whereas (adding) gentamicin sulfate significantly improved these properties.

Abstract
In early 1980s, researchers discovered self-setting calcium orthophosphate cements, which are a bioactive and biodegradable grafting material in the form of a powder and a liquid. Both phases form after mixing a viscous paste that after being implanted, sets and hardens within the body as either a non-stoichiometric calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) or brushite, sometimes blended with unreacted particles and other phases. As both CDHA and brushite are remarkably biocompartible and bioresorbable (therefore, in vivo they can be replaced with newly forming bone), calcium orthophosphate cements represent a good correction technique for non-weight-bearing bone fractures or defects and appear to be very promising materials for bone grafting applications. Besides, these cements possess an excellent osteoconductivity, molding capabilities and easy manipulation. Furthermore, reinforced cement formulations are available, which in a certain sense might be described as calcium orthophosphate concretes. The concepts established by calcium orthophosphate cement pioneers in the early 1980s were used as a platform to initiate a new generation of bone substitute materials for commercialization. Since then, advances have been made in the composition, performance and manufacturing; several beneficial formulations have already been introduced as a result. Many other compositions are in experimental stages. In this review, an insight into calcium orthophosphate cements and concretes, as excellent biomaterials suitable for both dental and bone grafting application, has been provided.
