Abstract

A synthetic crystallic semihydrate form of calcium sulfate, Stimulan, was evaluated as a biodegradable carrier for the daily in vitro elution of daptomycin. Daptomycin and Stimulan were admixed at a ratio of 95:5. Elution lasted for 28 days. Eluted concentrations peaked on days 1 and 11, when the mean values were 1,320.1 and 949.2 microg/ml, respectively. The lowest eluted concentration was detected on day 28. These results support the application of the system described in experimental models of osteomyelitis.
