Tetracycline 52-64 zein Zea mays 118-122 21586598-5 2012 The interaction of tetracycline with the corn protein zein was studied by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared, and X-ray diffraction. Tetracycline 19-31 zein Zea mays 54-58 21586598-6 2012 The hydrophobic interaction of tetracycline with zein in the formulations was deduced from the NMR studies, whereas X-ray diffraction studies showed a new crystalline state of the drug in the presence of the protein. Tetracycline 31-43 zein Zea mays 49-53 21586598-8 2012 Sustained release of tetracycline was obtained, and the proportion of zein in the inserts had a great impact on the drug release. Tetracycline 21-33 zein Zea mays 70-74 21586598-10 2012 In conclusion, the PLGA:zein delivery system described in this study was found to be effective in controlled delivery of tetracycline, and hence may be suitable for intra-pocket delivery of antimicrobial agents in the treatment of periodontitis. Tetracycline 121-133 zein Zea mays 24-28
