Abstract

Abstract Fabrication of porous polymer membrane with controlled drug release and efficient antibacterial performances is of great interest in biomedical fields. In this study, Laponite (LAP) nanodisks were first used to encapsulate a model antibiotic drug, tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). Then, drug-loaded LAP nanodisks with an optimized loading efficiency (85.3 %) were mixed with poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) polymer to form drug-loaded composite porous membrane via solvent coasting. The structure, morphology and swelling property of the porous membranes formed with varied solvent ratio of methylene dichloride (DCM) and dimethyl formamide (DMF) in the mixture solvent were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and swelling test. In vitro drug release behavior, the cytotoxicity and the antibacterial activity of drug-loaded composite membranes were evaluated. Results showed that the TCH release was dependent on the physical structure of PLLA membrane and the presence of LAP nanodisks effectively weakened the initial burst release of TCH, and improved the sustained release property of porous PLLA membrane. The released TCH of TCH/LAP/PLLA3:1 and TCH/LAP/PLLA4:1 was 10.0 % and 5.3 % within initial 1 h, respectively. More importantly, the porous TCH/LAP/PLLA membrane was cytocompatible and displayed considerable antibacterial activity, solely associated with the loaded TCH drug, confirming its potential utility in wound dressings and tissue engineering.
