Résumé
Neomycin is a natural aminoglycoside antibiotic produced by actinomycete Streptomyces fradiae. It exerts bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity against Gram-negative bacteria, certain Gram-positive bacteria and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Neomycin inhibits the biosynthesis of bacterial proteins by impairing their life functions, leading to death of cells. To examine the effect of molecular weight of polylactide (PLA), the applied stabilizer as well as mixing speed used in the encapsulation process on the size of obtained spheres. Examination of the kinetics of neomycin release from the obtained PLA spheres and determination of the antimicrobial activity of the neomycin-containing spheres against selected strains of bacteria, yeast and fungi have also been necessary. Polylactide (Mn 3000-40,000 g/mol) was obtained in-house. Other materials used in the study were as follows: L-lactic acid (PLLA; Mn 66,500 g/mol and 86,000 g/mol), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a stabilizer of emulsion (Mw 30,000 g/mol, 130,000 g/mol; degree of hydrolysis 88%) as well as dichloromethane, p.a. and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), p.a. as solvents. Distilled water was obtained in-house. Neomycin sulfate was used for encapsulation; phosphate (pH 7.2) and acetate (pH 4.5) buffers were used for the examination of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) dissolution profile. Antimicrobial activity was tested using commercial cell lines and the following media: Mueller-Hinton agar (MHA), Mueller-Hinton broth (MHB), yeast extract peptone dextrose (YPD), and potato dextrose agar (PDA). Neomycin-containing PLA spheres were obtained using an emulsion method. The average molecular weight of PLA, the average molecular weight of PVA and mixing speed on the size of obtained spheres were investigated. Furthermore, the profile of API dissolution from the spheres and antimicrobial activity of neomycin-containing spheres against certain strains of bacteria, yeast and fungi were determined. We demonstrated that efficient encapsulation of neomycin requires spheres of a <200 mm diameter.

OBJECTIVES
OBJECTIVE
To examine the effect of molecular weight of polylactide (PLA), the applied stabilizer as well as mixing speed used in the encapsulation process on the size of obtained spheres. Examination of the kinetics of neomycin release from the obtained PLA spheres and determination of the antimicrobial activity of the neomycin-containing spheres against selected strains of bacteria, yeast and fungi have also been necessary.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
METHODS
Polylactide (Mn 3000-40,000 g/mol) was obtained in-house. Other materials used in the study were as follows: L-lactic acid (PLLA; Mn 66,500 g/mol and 86,000 g/mol), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a stabilizer of emulsion (Mw 30,000 g/mol, 130,000 g/mol; degree of hydrolysis 88%) as well as dichloromethane, p.a. and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), p.a. as solvents. Distilled water was obtained in-house.

Neomycin-containing PLA spheres were obtained using an emulsion method. The average molecular weight of PLA, the average molecular weight of PVA and mixing speed on the size of obtained spheres were investigated. Furthermore, the profile of API dissolution from the spheres and antimicrobial activity of neomycin-containing spheres against certain strains of bacteria, yeast and fungi were determined.
