AB  - Novel biodegradable and biocompatible formulations of "old" but "gold" drugs such as nystatin (Nys) and amphotericin B (AmB) were made using a biopolymer as a matrix. Medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHA) were used to formulate both polyenes (Nys and AmB) in the form of films (similar to 50 mu m). Thermal properties and stability of the materials were not significantly altered by the incorporation of polyenes in mcl-PHA, but polyene containing materials were more hydrophobic. These formulations were tested in vitro against a panel of pathogenic fungi and for antibiofilm properties. The films containing 0.1 to 2 weight % polyenes showed good activity and sustained polyene release for up to 4 days. A PHA monomer, namely 3-hydroxydecanoic acid (C10-OH), was added to the films to achieve an enhanced synergistic effect with polyenes against fungal growth. Mcl-PHA based polyene formulations showed excellent growth inhibitory activity against both Candida yeasts (C. albicans ATCC 1023, C. albicans SC5314 (ATCC MYA-2876), C. parapsilosis ATCC 22019) and filamentous fungi (Aspergillus fumigatus ATCC 13073; Trichophyton mentagrophytes ATCC 9533, Microsporum gypseum ATCC 24102). All antifungal PHA film preparations prevented the formation of a C. albicans biofilm, while they were not efficient in eradication of mature biofilms, rendering them suitable for the transdermal application or as coatings of implants.

AB  - This study discusses utilization of supercritical carbon dioxide for impregnation of cellulose acetate films with thymol in order to produce material with anti-biofilm activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Analysis of anti-biofilm activity of cellulose acetate beads impregnated with thymol suggested that optimal thymol loading was in the range from 26% to 30% for efficient reduction of biofilm formation and eradication of pre-formed biofilms. Polymer films were fabricated by the solvent casting method from polymer solutions of different contents, and loaded with thymol using supercritical carbon dioxide at 15.5 MPa and 35 degrees C. The film containing 30% of thymol (F1 30%) exhibited substantial anti-adhesion properties inhibiting biofilm formation on its surface and considerably reduced formation of biofilms on the surrounding surfaces (up to 80%) by all tested strains including antibiotic resistant P. aeruginosa DM50 and methicillin-resistant S. aureus.
