<dcterms:abstract>The following work examines the possibility of impregnating chosen model drug into&#xd;
bioaerogels to obtain final formulation with added value. The drug used in this study was&#xd;
esomeprazole, used to treat acid-related diseases.&#xd;
In the first part of the work, bioaerogels were prepared. Polysaccharide aerogels are&#xd;
lightweight biocompatible and biodegradable materials, suitable for applications in&#xd;
pharmaceutical industry. For this purpose, three different cores were prepared: pectin,&#xd;
alginate and their mixture, followed by coating with chitosan layer. The production of the&#xd;
bioaerogels follows a sol-gel synthesis and supercritical drying technique. All samples&#xd;
were characterised, and optimisation was performed based on examined properties.&#xd;
Aerogels having a pectin core and chitosan coating showed the highest surface area and&#xd;
the highest adsorption capacity.&#xd;
In the second part, the impregnation of esomeprazole was performed using two different&#xd;
methods: supercritical impregnation and diffusion via sol-gel synthesis. For supercritical&#xd;
impregnation, supercritical carbon dioxide was used as a solvent for impregnation of the&#xd;
drug. In the diffusion method, the model drug was added during sol-gel synthesis using&#xd;
ethanol as solvent. Finally, complete characterisation of prepared formulation followed&#xd;
by drug release studies was performed.&#xd;
The study showed successful impregnation of esomeprazole using either carbon dioxide&#xd;
or ethanol as a solvent. Bioaerogels proved to be promising as carriers for achieving the&#xd;
optimal release of the chosen drug</dcterms:abstract>
<dcterms:abstract>V diplomskem delu smo proučevali možnost impregnacije vzorčnega zdravila v&#xd;
bioaerogele z namenom, da dobimo učinkovito končno formulirano obliko. Kot vzorčno&#xd;
zdravilo smo uporabili esomeprazol, ki se uporablja za zdravljenje bolezni povezanih z&#xd;
želodčno kislino.&#xd;
V prvem delu diplome smo pripravili bioaerogele. Polisaharidni aerogeli so lahki&#xd;
biokompatibilni in biorazgradljivi materiali, ki so primerni za uporabo v farmacevtski&#xd;
industriji. Pektin, alginat in njuno mešanico smo uporabili za pripravo treh različnih jeder,&#xd;
ki smo jih nato prevlekli s plastjo hitozana. Bioaerogele smo sintetizirali s sol-gel sintezo&#xd;
in jih sušili s superkritičnim oglijkovim dioksidom. Opravili smo karakterizacijo in&#xd;
optimizacijo pripravljenih vzorcev. Aerogeli s pektinskim jedrom in obdani s hitozanom&#xd;
imajo največjo površino in največjo adsorpcijsko sposobnost.&#xd;
V drugem delu smo izvedli impregnacijo esomeprazola po dveh različnih metodah in&#xd;
sicer z metodo superkritične impregnacije in z metodo difuzije s sol-gel sintezo. Pri&#xd;
superkritični impregnaciji smo kot topilo uporabili superkritični ogljikov dioksid. Pri&#xd;
difuzijski metodi pa smo vzorčno zdravilo dodali med sol-gel sintezo, pri čemer smo kot&#xd;
topilo uporabili etanol. Na koncu smo izvedli popolno karakterizacijo pripravljene&#xd;
formulacije in opravili študijo sproščanja zdravila.&#xd;
Z obema metodama smo uspešno impregnirali esomeprazol ter dosegli optimalno&#xd;
sproščanje izbranega zdravila.</dcterms:abstract>
