The aim of the study was the development of the influence of hydrogel formulation on the tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) level under varying storage conditions. The HPLC, XPRD as well as SEM and macroscopic observations were involved in the study. The TC concentration decreased within ca. two months from 9.37 \u00b5g\/mL to 4.41 \u00b5g\/mL in the case of the photoprotected TC solution stored at 23 \u00b0C, whereas the decrease in storage temperature did not improve the final level of TC. In the presence of AMPD, the TC level in aqueous solution decreased drastically to ca. 1 \u00b5g\/mL. Application of a polyacrylic acid derivative enabled conservation of the TC level through the ca. two months. Thus, the use of alcoholamine in the preparation of the TC hydrogel may result in the development of a therapeutic product with a dual action against acne, including antimicrobial activity and saponification of free fatty acids deposited in the follicles.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pharmaceutics13091381","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,1]],"date-time":"2021-09-01T03:13:17Z","timestamp":1630465997000},"page":"1381","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Evaluation of the Influence of a Hydrogel Containing AMPD on the Stability of Tetracycline Hydrochloride"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6902-919X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Kostrz\u0119bska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Chemistry and Biophysics, Faculty of Pharmacy, Wroclaw Medical University, ul.
