Abstract:
In this paper, microwave assisted preparation of carboxymethyl cellulose-cl-poly(lactic acid-co-itaconic acid) (CMC-cl-P(LA-co-IA)) hydrogel was reported via facile graft copolymerization using N,N1-methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA) and potassium persulphate as cross linker and initiator. Different reaction parameters were optimized to achieve good yield. The formation of hydrogel was confirmed by characterization techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermo gravimetric analysis, transmission electron microscopy etc. The antimicrobial activities of the hydrogel were studied against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. About 95% killing of bacteria was recorded after 24h. The controlled release of amoxicillin drug from hydrogel was evaluated as a function of pH and time. Maximum drug release of 98% was recorded at 2.2 pH after 7h. The kinetic studies showed non-Fickian diffusion of the drug.
