Hybrid materials applied to biotechnologies: coating of calcium phosphates for the design of implants active against bone resorption disorders

Abstract

The reaction of a bisphosphonate bone resorption inhibitor (Zoledronate) with calcium deficient hydroxyapatites (CDAs) was studied as a potential route to local drug delivery systems active against bone resorption disorders. A simple mathematical model of the Zoledronate–CDA interaction was designed that correctly described the adsorption of Zoledronate onto CDAs. The resulting Zoledronate-loaded materials were found to release the drug in different phosphate-containing media, with a satisfactory agreement between experimental data and the values predicted from the model.
