THE PROPERTIES OF THERMOSENSITIVE GYNECOLOGICAL POWDERS CONTAINING LACTIC ACID COMPLEXED WITH CHITOSAN
Journal Title: Progress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
The investigations showed that the addition of a 20%, 23% and 25% poloxamer 407 increases the adhesive properties of the investigated powders, but at the same time it increases their pH. The enrichment of the composition of the tested powders containing 5% glycerol and 5% 1,2-propylene glycol resulted in increased pH of the formulations. A modification of the composition of the tested powders containing 5% glycerol and 5% 1,2-propylene glycol has increased the range of the dynamic viscosity of formulations. The enrichment of the composition of the tested powders containing 5% hydroxypropylmethylcellulose resulted in increased the range of the dynamic viscosity and decreased pH of the formulations. Laboratory tests have shown that it is possible to obtain thermosensitive gels with high adhesion properties to vaginal mucous membrane.
