Aims: Using osteoinductive agents in combination with tissue engineering scaffolds is considered as a new approach to bone repair. Recently, statins have attracted great attention among a variety of drugs used in bone repair. In order to achieve a sustained release of Atorvastatin from bone scaffolds, two systems, including nanoniosomes and gelatin microspheres, were synthesized and compared.
Materials and Methods: Nanoniosomes and gelatin microspheres were prepared by thin-film hydration and single emulsion technique, respectively.
Findings: The prepared systems were characterized for morphology, size, carriers’ preparation efficiency, encapsulation efficiency, and drug loading. Also, release profiles of them were evaluated over a period of one week. The results indicated the formation of relatively spherical niosomes with the diameter of about 653.52nm and encapsulation efficiency of 81.34%, and formation of gelatin microspheres with the diameter of about 37.5μm and the encapsulation efficiency of 78.93%.
Conclusion: The results showed that gelatin microspheres had a lower burst release than niosomes, and niosomes had more sustained release than gelatin microspheres after 24hr to 1 week. Albeit, selection of the optimal system requires cellular studies and also the selection must occur according to the severity of the damage and the rate of repair.
