TY - JOUR AU1 - Joshi, Navin AU2 - Mishra, Neeraj AU3 - Rai, Vineet Kumar AB - PurposeLess local availability and higher skin permeation restrict wide application of silver sulfadiazine (SSD) formulations against infectious burn wound.AimWe aimed to develop β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex-based in situ pluronic gel of SSD (β-CD-ssd P-Gel).MethodsFormation of inclusion complex was confirmed by FT-IR, DSC, SEM, and XRD and checked for improved solubility.Results and DiscussionPoloxamer (407/118)-based in situ gel of inclusion complex was prepared and characterized for its gelation temperature (33.50 °C), viscosity (1159.25 ± 5.60 cps), pH (6.4 ± 0.56), and drug content (91.56 ± 1.62%). The developed gel showed slow drug release and slow permeation of the drug through the skin. It showed broader zone of Staphylococcus aureus growth inhibition (31 ± 0.20 mm) and high wound contraction (98.89%) when compared with the marketed formulation (26 ± 0.20 mm and 58.00%, respectively).ConclusionsA consistent, biocompatible, β-CD-ssd P-Gel was prepared successfully. It was found able to ensure increased local availability by forming viscous gel below body temperature, high SSD availability at the desired site, and high efficacy against infectious wound.
