| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigate in a novel drug delivery system with drug-concentration sensing property. For this purpose, phosphorylated polysaccharide consisting glucose, pullulan (PPL), is synthesized as a drug carrier. This polymer shows excellent low viscosity and adhesive properties to hard tissue. When the PPL mixed with a typical antibacterial agent, cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), the mixture indicated turbid depending on the concentration. It suggests less-soluble complex formation between PPL and CPC.
To elucidate their ability of drug carrier, the mixture was adsorbed on the surface of hydroxyapatite and then S. mutans were cultured on the apatite plate. When only CPC was treated on the surface at 10 %, they grew as same as non-coated ones. However, the plate coated with PPL-CPC complex even at 0.01 %, they observed rarely. It suggests that PPL can adhesive to the apatite and the complex releases effectively. Therefore, PPL-CPC complex can allow to a newly concentration sensing carrier.
