dc.description.abstractTissue engineering aims to improve or restore damaged tissues by using scaffolds, cells and bioactive agents. In tissue engineering, one of the most important concepts is the scaffold because it has a key role in keeping up and promoting the growth of the cells. It is also desirable to be able to load these scaffolds with drugs that induce tissue regeneration/formation. Based on this, in our study, gelatin cryogel scaffolds were developed for potential bone tissue engineering applications and simvastatin loading and release studies were performed. Simvastatin is lipoliphic in nature and this form is called inactive simvastatin (SV). It is modified to be in hydrophilic form and converted to the active form (SVA). For our study's drug loading and release process, simvastatin was used in both inactive and active forms. The blank cryogels and drug-loaded cryogels were prepared at different glutaraldehyde concentrations (1, 2, and 3%). The effect of the crosslinking agent and the amount of drug loaded were discussed with morphological and physicochemical analysis. As the glutaraldehyde concentration increased gradually, the pores size of the cryogels decreased and the swelling ratio decreased. For the release profile of simvastatin in both forms, we can say that it depended on the form (lipophilic and hydrophilic) of the loaded simvastatin.
