Abstract
In this study, 10 mg fluconazole (10 FCZ) and 10 mg gentamicin (10 GEN) loaded with 40% polymethylmethacrylate (40% PMMA) fibers were fabricated by electrospinning and the performance of the formulations (40% PMMA, 40% PMMA/10 FCZ, 40% PMMA/10 GEN, and 40% PMMA/10 FCZ/10 GEN) was tested. 10 mg Gentamicin-loaded 40% PMMA fiber mat showed a more significant zone of inhibition against the S. aureus compared to the zone of 40% PMMA/10 GEN/10 FCZ fiber. The biocompatibility test using a human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) as a cell model proved that the amount of loaded and released GEN has no toxic effects on the MSCs.
