Abstract
This work reports on the preparation and systematic testing of a novel multi-layered coating, comprised of the non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac and biopolymer carboxymethyl cellulose. Drug release testing was performed on an Automated Transdermal Diffusion Cells Sampling System in combination with UV-VIS spectroscopy as the released drug concentration determination method. The results showed that most of the drug is released in the first six hours, whereas the overall released amount could be tailored through changes in the multi-layered coating composition. Biocompatibility tests performed on human osteoblast cells, showed cell viability improvement between 7% and 17% compared to the control sample. The expression of proteins playing important roles in extracellular matrix production and functioning was performed in order to obtain additional proof of the prepared materials
