Abstract

Purpose: The material properties of contact lenses were measured by varying the amounts of an initiator and a cross-linking agent that are the basis for the manufacture of contact lenses, and the drug delivery effects depending on the material properties of contact lenses were compared. Methods: Contact lens samples were manufactured using HEMA by varying the concentration of the cross-linking agent and the initiator. To investigate the changes in physical characteristics depending on the material properties, the results of the experiments on the amount of drug elution, water content, refractive index, and the amount of protein adsorption were compared. Results: For the contact lenses manufactured by varying the amount of the initiator, the water content hardly changed, and the refractive index also hardly changed. The amount of drug elution was not much affected by the changes in the initiator, but the amount of elution increased as the water content increased. The amount of protein adsorption was hardly affected by the changes in the initiator, but the amount of adsorption increased as the water content decreased. Conclusions: The changes in the properties were hardly affected by the changes in the amount of the initiator, but were significantly affected by the changes in the amount of the cross-linking agent. As the amount of the cross-linking agent increased, the water content decreased, while the refractive index increased. Also, when the water content increased, the amount of drug elution increased, while the amount of protein adsorption decreased.

목적: 개시제와 교차결합제의 농도에 따른 소프트콘택트렌즈의 재질을 변화시켜서 재질변화에 대한 물리적 특성 및 약물의 용출량 및 속도를 비교하였다. 방법: HEMA에 개시제인 AIBN과 교차결합제인 EGDMA의 농도을 변화시켜서 콘택트렌즈를 제작하였다. 항균물질인 노플록사신(norfloxacin)은 고분자 중합 시 0.1% 농도로 단량체와 함께 혼합하였다. 재질변화에 따른 물리적 성질 변화를 확인하기 위해 약물용출 농도, 함수율, 굴절률, 단백질 흡착량 등에 대한 실험을 통하여 비교하였으며, 통계분석을 통해 유의성을 확인하였다. 결과: 개시제의 농도을 변화 시킨 콘택트렌즈는 함수율의 변화가 거의 없으며, 굴절률의 값에도 별 변화가 없었다. 교차결합제 농도이 증가하면 함수율이 낮아지고 굴절률이 높아졌다. 약물용출의 농도를 살펴보면 개시제의 변화에 의해서는 많은 변화를 보이지 않았으며, 함수율이 높을수록 용출되는 농도가 증가하였다. 단백질 흡착양은 개시제에 의한 변화는 거의 없었으며 함수율이 낮을수록 흡착되는 양이 증가하였다. 결론: 개시제의 농도에 대한 변화는 특성 변화에 영향력이 거의 없었으며, 교차결합제 농도에 따라서는 많은 변화를 보였다. 교차결합제의 농도가 증가할수록 함수율은 감소하며 굴절률은 증가하였다. 또한 함수율의 증가에 따라 약물이 많이 용출되었으며 단백질의 흡착량은 감소되었다.
