PERIOCHIP - CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE INSERT, EXTENDED RELEASE
ADRIAN PHARMACEUTICALS, LLC
----------
PERIOCHIP, 2.5 MG (CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE)
DESCRIPTION
PerioChip® (chlorhexidine gluconate) is a small, orange-brown,
rectangular chip (rounded at one end)
for insertion into periodontal pockets. Each PerioChip weighs
approximately 7.4 mg and contains 2.5
mg of chlorhexidine gluconate in a biodegradable matrix of hydrolyzed
gelatin (cross-linked with
glutaraldehyde). PerioChip also contains glycerin and purified water.
Chlorhexidine gluconate is an antimicrobial agent. Chemically, it is
designated as 1,1’-
hexamethylenebis [5-(p-chlorophenyl)biguanide] di-D-gluconate, and its
molecular formula is
C
H Cl
N .2C H O . The molecular weight is 897.8. The structural formula of
chlorhexidine
gluconate is:
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
MICROBIOLOGY
Chlorhexidine gluconate is active against a broad spectrum of
microbes. The chlorhexidine molecule,
due to its positive charge, reacts with the microbial cell surface,
destroys the integrity of the cell
membrane, penetrates into the cell, precipiates the cytoplasm, and the
cell dies. Studies with PerioChip
showed reductions in the numbers of the putative periodontopathic
organisms _Porphyromonas_
_(Bacteroides) gingivalis, Prevotella (Bacteroides) intermedia,
Bacteroides forsythus_, and _Campylobacter_
_rectus (Wolinella recta)_ after placement of the chip. No overgrowth
of opportunistic organisms or the
adverse changes in the oral microbial ecosystem were noted. The
relationship of the microbial findings
to clinical outcome has not been established.
PHARMACOKINETICS
PerioChip releases chlorhexidine _in vitro_ in a biphasic manner,
initially releasing approximately 40% of
the chlorhexidine within the first 24 hours and then releasing the
remaining chlorhexidine in an almost
linear fashion for 7-10 days. This enzymatic release rate assay is an
experimental collagenase assay that
