Abstract

The paper discusses a method for the realization of some polymer - drug systems in which the macromolecular support is represented by a three-dimensional network based on xanthan and poly(vinyl alcohol). Knowing that the drug (chloramphenicol) was to be inserted through a diffusion process, the support – selected according to an experimental program – had the highest degree of swelling. Several variants of chloramphenicol inclusion into the synthesized support are analyzed by studying the process kinetics. The study of chloramphenicol release from the inclusion products, in the form of films, indicated the installation of a “zero order” kinetics. The tests devoted to the system’s antimicrobial activity evidenced their biological action.
