Abstract

Metronidazole (MD), which is used as an antibiotic, is largely used as an oral and skin application agent, and has inhibiting effect on the production of the fungus causing malodor. However, the maximum drug inclusion concentration is 0.75% of skin ointment in commercially available. In this study, hydrogels containing high concentration of metronidazole were prepared by using radiation crosslinking technique based on biocompatible polymers, and release characteristics and antimicrobial properties were evaluated. This study was preliminary carried out to investigate whether it could be used effectively as antibacterial dressing materials.
