Abstract
Non-leaching bone cement (NLBC) with immobilized antibacterial agents represents a novel approach to fundamentally resolve the issue of burst release of antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC). In this study, a furanone-based methacrylate carbamate comonomer has been reported, which we named FUMA. With this comonomer in hand, a new NLBC FUMA cement was manufactured. Surprisingly, the mechanical strength of the FUMA cement increased with the monomer content, meeting the ISO 5833 requirements. Further studies showed that the antibacterial activity of the FUMA cement increased with higher monomer content, and the 25% FUMA cement exhibited 97.57 ± 2.27% antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and 43 ± 4.82% against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This cement demonstrated no hemolytic activity or acute toxicity. These findings provide new potential approaches for the prevention of periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs).
