Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Nanotechnology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Personalized drug delivery systems aim for tailored dosages and controlled release profiles.
  • Current systems often suffer from burst drug release and side effects due to poor encapsulation.
  • Integrating real-time imaging capabilities enhances diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To engineer a 3D-printed drug delivery matrix with integrated real-time imaging.
  • To achieve optimal encapsulation of a drug and a contrasting agent.
  • To investigate the influence of additives on the matrix's surface morphology.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized hot melt extrusion (HME) and fused deposition modeling (FDM) for 3D printing.
  • Encapsulated tetracycline hydrochloride (TH) and Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (IONP) within a polycaprolactone (PCL) matrix.
  • Investigated the effect of additives on micropore formation (10-20 µm) on the printed surface.

Main Results:

  • Successfully encapsulated both tetracycline hydrochloride and Iron Oxide Nanoparticles.
  • Demonstrated the formation of micropores on the 3D-printed surface.
  • Achieved a high-resolution printing process for complex structures.

Conclusions:

  • The engineered 3D-printed matrix shows promise for advanced drug delivery systems.
  • The system enables real-time imaging for monitoring drug-device interaction.
  • Potential applications include personalized medicine, medical imaging, and targeted therapy.
