Abstract

For effective treatment of infected bone, it is essential to use local drug delivery systems with the ability to deliver both antibiotics and osteoinductive factors. Herein, a pH-sensitive silk fibroin (SF)/sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel scaffolds containing teicoplanin (TEC) and phenamil (PM) loaded SF nanoparticles (PMSFNPS) are introduced for treating chronic osteomyelitis. The TEC and PM showed a sustained- and pH-sensitive release behavior from SF/SA hydrogel. The higher release rate was seen in an alkaline pH in comparison to neutral and acidic pH during 10 days. The eluted TEC maintained its antibacterial activity of >75 % during 35 days and in three different pH values (5.5, 7.4, and 8.5). The cellular study indicated that the scaffolds containing PMSFNPs could promote the cell viability, ALP activity, and matrix mineralization. Moreover, the in vivo effectiveness of hydrogel scaffolds were analyzed with radiography, histological and Immunohistochemistry evaluations. The lower infection and higher regeneration were observed in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infected rat bone treated with hydrogel scaffold containing PMSFNPs and TEC compared to other groups. Consequently, this dual-drug delivery system could be a hopeful approach for effective treatment of chronic bone infection. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
