ABSTRACT
The implementation of personalized patches, tailored to individual genetic profiles and containing specific amounts of bioactive substances, has the potential to produce a transformative impact within the medical sector. There are several methods of designing scaffolds in the context of personalized medicine, with three-dimensional (3D) printing emerging as a pivotal technique. This innovative approach can be used to construct a wide variety of pharmaceutical dosage forms, characterized by variations in shape, release profile, and drug combinations, allowing precise dose individualization and the incorporation of multiple therapeutic agents. To expand the potential and applicability of personalized medicine, particularly with regards to indomethacin (IND), a drug necessitating individualized dosing, this study proposes the development of new transdermal delivery systems for IND based on hyaluronic acid and a polylactone synthesized within our research group, namely poly(ethylene brasilate-co-squaric acid) (PEBSA). The obtained systems were characterized in terms of their swelling capacity, rheological behavior, and morphological characteristics that highlighted the formation of stable three-dimensional networks. To impart specific shape and geometry to the structures, multi-component systems based on PEBSA, HA, and methacrylate gelatin were obtained. The scaffolds were loaded with IND and subsequently 3D printed. The release capacity of IND and its dependence on the relative ratios of the components comprising the scaffold composition were highlighted. The cytocompatibility studies revealed the successful development of biocompatible and noncytotoxic systems.
