Abstract
This study aims to develop an innovative microencapsulation method for coated Polymyxin B, utilizing various polysaccharides such as hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin, alginate, and chitosan, implemented through a three-fluid nozzle (3FN) spray drying process. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed that formulations with a high ratio of sugar cage, hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD), and sodium alginate (coded as ALGHCDHPLPM) resulted in a notable 16-fold increase in Polymyxin B recovery compared to chitosan microparticles. Morphological assessments using fluorescence labeling confirmed successful microparticle formation with core/shell structures. Alginate-based formulations exhibited distinct layers, while chitosan formulations showed uniform fluorescence throughout the microparticles. Focused beam reflectance and histograms from fluorescence microscopic measurements provided insights into physical size analysis, indicating consistent sizes of 6.8 ± 1.2 μm. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra unveiled hydrogen bonding between Polymyxin B and other components within the microparticle structures. The drug release study showed sodium alginate's sustained release capability, reaching 26 ± 3% compared to 94 ± 3% from the free solution at the 24 h time point. Furthermore, the antimicrobial properties of the prepared microparticles against two Gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, were investigated. The influence of various key excipients on the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values was evaluated. Results demonstrated effective bactericidal effects of ALGHCDHPLPM against both E. coli and P. aeruginosa. Additionally, the antibiofilm assay highlighted the potential efficacy of ALGHCDHPLPM against the biofilm viability of E. coli and P. aeruginosa, with concentrations ranging from 3.9 to 500 μg/m. This signifies a significant advancement in antimicrobial drug delivery systems, promising improved precision and efficacy in combating bacterial infections.
