Abstract
Report about an aminoacid, which hardens quickly in liquid environment. It is highly suitable as carrier of chemotherapeutic agents. In-vitro tests show an antibiotic inhibitory activity of different compounds for at least 41 days. According to in-vivo experiments in 17 rats the new substance is replaced in the bone and in soft tissues by fibrous tissue; the antibiotic activity is released slowly. This offers a new carrier which is suitable for occlusion of cavities. The instillation of the new amino-acid (Ethibloc) combined with antibiotics could be a new treatment for chronic osteomyelitis.Entities:
