Abstract
Layer-by-layer self-assembly systems were developed using monolayer and multilayer carriers to prevent infections and improve bone regeneration of porous Ti-6Al-4V scaffolds. These polymeric carriers incorporated (Gel/Alg-IGF-1 + Chi-Cef) and (4Gel/Alg-IGF-1 + Chi-Cef) on the surface of porous implants produced via electron beam melting (EBM). The results showed that the drug release from multilayer carriers was higher than that of monolayers after 14 days. However, the carrier containing Gel/Alg-IGF-1 + Chi-Cef exhibited more sustained behaviour. Cell morphology was characterized, revealing that multilayer carriers had higher cell adhesion than monolayers. Additionally, cell differentiation was significantly greater for (Gel/Alg-IGF-1) + Chi-Cef, and (4Gel/Alg-IGF-1) + Chi-Cef multilayer carriers than for the monolayer groups after 7 days. Notably, the drug dosage was effective and did not interfere, and the cell viability assay showed safe results. Antibacterial evaluations demonstrated that both multilayer carriers had a greater effect on Staphylococcus aureus during treatment. The carriers containing lower alginate had notably less effect than the other studied carriers. This study aimed to test systems for controlling drug release, which will be applied to improve MG63 cell behavior and prevent bacterial accumulation during orthopedic applications.
