A high yield of nifedipine-chitosan microspheres could be obtained using an emulsification phase-separation method. A high level of entrapment of nifedipine in the microspheres was achieved. The microspheres exhibited excellent swelling properties. Differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffractometry, and scanning electron microscopy confirmed that at 1.84% loading, nifedipine was dispersed molecularly. The microspheres exhibited faster release at low loadings compared to high loadings. Fitting the data to the coupled Fickian/case II equation, showed that at low loadings polymer relaxation coefficients (k2) were high. As the polymer content increased in the microspheres, the value of n (diffusional exponent characteristic of the release mechanism) approached one, which is indicative of zero order. 相似文献

Encapsulation of protein nanoparticles into uniform-sized microspheres formed in a spinning oil film
Leach WT Simpson DT Val TN Yu Z Lim KT Park EJ Williams RO Johnston KP 《AAPS PharmSciTech》2005,6(4):E605-E617
A new spinning oil film (SOF) solid-in-oil-in-oil emulsion process was developed to produce uniform-sized proteinloaded biodegradable
microspheres. A thin SOF on a cylindrical rotor was used to shear droplets from a nozzle tip to control droplet size. The
resulting microspheres with low polydispersity (6%) produced a low burst (6%–11%) release even at high loadings (13%–18% encapsulated
solids, 8%–12% protein). The SOF process had a high yield and did not require the presence of water, which can cause protein
denaturation, or surfactants, which may be unwanted in the final product. Amorphous protein and crystalline excipient solids
were encapsulated into 3 different polymers, giving a homogenous drug distribution throughout the microspheres, and an essentially
complete protein encapsulation efficiency (average=99%). In contrast, large burst release was observed for polydisperse microspheres
produced by a conventional emulsification technique, particularly for microspheres smaller than 25 μm in diameter, which gave
93% burst at 15% loading. The uniform encapsulation of high loadings of proteins into microspheres with low polydispersity
in an anhydrous process is of practical interest in the development of controlled-release protein therapeutics.

Interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogel microspheres for oral controlled release application
Banerjee S Siddiqui L Bhattacharya SS Kaity S Ghosh A Chattopadhyay P Pandey A Singh L 《International journal of biological macromolecules》2012,50(1):198-206
Interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogel microspheres of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were prepared by water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion crosslinking method for oral controlled release delivery of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, diclofenac sodium (DS). The microspheres were prepared with various ratios of NaCMC to PVA, % drug loading and extent of crosslinking density at a fixed polymer weight. The prepared microspheres with loose and rigid surfaces were evidenced by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the IPN formation. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) study was performed to understand the dispersion nature of drug after encapsulation. The in vitro drug release study was extensively evaluated depending on the process variables in both acid and alkaline media. All the formulations exhibited satisfactory physicochemical and in vitro release characteristics. Release data indicated a non-Fickian trend of drug release from the formulations. Based on the results of this study suggest that DS loaded IPN microspheres were suitable for oral controlled release application. 相似文献

Shiv Sankar Bhattacharya Farhan Mazahir Subham Banerjee Anurag Verma Amitava Ghosh 《Carbohydrate polymers》2013
Interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogel microspheres of xanthan gum (XG) based superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were prepared by water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion crosslinking method for sustained release of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CIPRO). The microspheres were prepared with various ratios of hydrolyzed SAP to PVA and extent of crosslinking density. The prepared microspheres with loose and rigid surfaces were evidenced by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the IPN formation. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) study was performed to understand the dispersion nature of drug after encapsulation. The in vitro drug release study was extensively evaluated depending on the process variables in both acidic and alkaline media. All the formulations exhibited satisfactory physicochemical and in vitro release characteristics. Release data indicated a non-Fickian trend of drug release from the formulations. Based on the results, this study suggest that CIPRO loaded IPN microspheres were suitable for sustained release application. 相似文献

In the present investigation, a simple technique was employed to obtain cross-sections of unloaded and nifedipine loaded chitosan microspheres. Microspheres, adhering to a polymerized resin block, were cut with an ultramicrotome and viewed with a scanning electron microscope. Unloaded microspheres exhibited a uniform dense matrix structure while crystals of nifedipine were clearly visible in the drug-loaded microspheres. At 2% drug loading, however, no crystals could be seen in the microspheres indicating that either the drug was molecularly dispersed or dissolved in the matrix at this concentration. This was confirmed by powder X-ray diffractometry studies where no peak due to crystalline nifedipine was observed. At high Span 85 concentration (1.5% w/v), the external surface of the microspheres collapsed, but the internal structure remained dense. When the drug was dispersed in the chitosan solution with stirring during preparation, the entrapment was good and the shape of the crystals was changed. The internal structure of the microspheres following dissolution exhibited the presence of pores. 相似文献

The purpose of this research was to develop the taste-masked microspheres of intensely bitter drug ondansetron hydrochloride
(OSH) by spray-drying technique. The bitter taste threshold value of OSH was determined. Three different polymers viz. Chitosan,
Methocel E15 LV, and Eudragit E100 were used for microsphere formation, and the effect of different polymers and drug–polymer
ratios on the taste masking and release properties of microspheres was investigated. The microspheres were characterized by
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Drug loading, in vitro bitter taste evaluation, and drug-release properties. The taste masking was absent in methocel microspheres at all the drug–polymer
ratios. The Eudragit microspheres depicted taste masking at 1:2 drug–polymer ratio whereas with Chitosan microspheres the
taste masking was achieved at 1:1 drug–polymer ratio. The drug release was about 96.85% for eudragit microspheres and 40.07%
for Chitosan microspheres in 15 min. 相似文献

The purpose of this research was to prepare spray-dried mucoadhesive microspheres for nasal delivery. Microspheres composed
of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (H), chitosan (CS), carbopol 934P (CP) and various combinations of these mucoadhesive polymers,
and maltodextrin (M), colloidal silicon dioxide (A), and propylene glycol (P) as filler and shaper, were prepared by spray-drying
technique. Using propranolol HCl as a model drug, microspheres were prepared at loadings exceedings 80% and yields between
24% and 74%. Bulky, free flowing microspheres that had median particle size between 15 and 23 μm were obtained. Their zeta
potential was according to the charge of polymer. Adhesion time of mucoadhesive microspheres on isolated pig intestine was
ranked, CS>CP: H>CP>H, while the rank order of swelling was CP>CS>H. Increasing the amount of CP in CP∶H formulations increased
the percentage of swelling. Infrared (IR) spectra showed no interaction between excipients used except CS with acetic acid.
The release of drug from CP and CP∶H microspheres was slower than the release from H and CS microspheres, correlated to their
viscosity and swelling. Long lag time from the CP microspheres could be shortened when combined with H. The permeation of
drug through nasal cell monolayer corresponded to their release profiles. These microspheres affected the integrity of tight
junctions, relative to their swelling and charge of polymer. Cell viability was not affected except from CS microspheres,
but recovery could be obtained. In conclusion, spray-dried microspheres of H, CS, CP, and CP∶H could be prepared to deliver
drug through nasal cell monolayer via the opening of tight junction without cell damaging.

Microspheres of tramadol hydrochloride (TM) for oral delivery were prepared by complex coacervation method without the use
of chemical cross-linking agents such as glutaraldehyde to avoid the toxic reactions and other undesirable effects of the
chemical cross-linking agents. Alternatively, ionotropic gelation was employed by using sodium-tripolyphosphate as cross-linking
agent. Chitosan and gelatin B were used as polymer and copolymer, respectively. All the prepared microspheres were subjected
to various physicochemical studies, such as drug–polymer compatibility by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and Fourier transform
infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, surface morphology by scanning electron microscopy, frequency distribution, drug entrapment
efficiency, in vitro drug release characteristics and release kinetics. The physical state of drug in the microspheres was determined by differential
scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). TLC and FTIR studies indicated no drug–polymer incompatibility.
All the microspheres showed initial burst release followed by a fickian diffusion mechanism. DSC and XRD analysis indicated
that the TM trapped in the microspheres existed in an amorphous or disordered-crystalline status in the polymer matrix. From
the preliminary trials, it was observed that it may be possible to formulate TM microspheres by using biodegradable natural
polymers such as chitosan and gelatin B to overcome the drawbacks of TM and to increase the patient compliance. 相似文献

The purpose of the present investigation was to encapsulate pure prednisolone (PRD) and PRD–hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD)
complex in cellulose-based matrix microspheres. The system simultaneously exploits complexation technique to enhance the solubility
of low-solubility drug (pure PRD) and subsequent modulation of drug release from microspheres (MIC) at a predetermined time.
The microspheres of various compositions were prepared by an oil-in-oil emulsion–solvent evaporation method. The effect of
complexation and presence of cellulose polymers on entrapment efficiency, particle size, and drug release had been investigated.
The solid-state characterization was performed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, differential
scanning calorimetry, and powder X-ray diffractometry. The morphology of MIC was examined by scanning electron microscopy.
The in vitro drug release profiles from these microspheres showed the desired biphasic release behavior. After enhancing the solubility
of prednisolone by inclusion into HPβCD, the drug release was easily modified in the microsphere formulation. It was also
demonstrated that the CDs in these microspheres were able to modulate several properties such as morphology, drug loading,
and release properties. The release kinetics of prednisolone from microspheres followed quasi-Fickian and first-order release
mechanisms. In addition to this, the f
2-metric technique was used to check the equivalency of dissolution profiles of the optimized formulation before and after
stability studies, and it was found to be similar. A good outcome, matrix microspheres (coded as MIC5) containing PRD–HPβCD
complex, showed sustained release of drug (95.81%) over a period of 24 h. 相似文献

In this study, the use of biodegradable polymers for microencapsulation of naltrexone using solvent evaporation technique
is investigated. The use of naltrexone microspheres for the preparation of matrix devices is also studied. For this purpose,
poly(L-lactide) (PLA) microspheres containing naltrexone prepared by solvent evaporation technique were compressed at temperatures
above the Tg of the polymer. The effect of different process parameters, such as drug/polymer ratio and stirring rate during
preparation of microspheres, on the morphology, size distribution, and in vitro drug release of microspheres was studied.
As expected, stirring rate influenced particle size distribution of microspheres and hence drug release profiles. By increasing
the stirring speed from 400 to 1200 rpm, the mean diameter of microspheres decreased from 251 μm to 104 μm. The drug release
rate from smaller microspheres was faster than from larger microspheres. However, drug release from microspheres with low
drug content (20% wt/wt) was not affected by the particle size of microspheres. Increasing the drug content of microspheres
from 20% to 50% wt/wt led to significantly faster drug release from microspheres. It was also shown that drug release from
matrix devices prepared by compression of naltrexone microspheres is much slower than that of microspheres. No burst release
was observed with matrix devices. Applying higher compression force, when compressing microspheres to produce tablets, resulted
in lower drug release from matrix devices. The results suggest that by regulating different variables, desired release profiles
of naltrexone can be achieved using a PLA microparticulate system or matrix devices. 相似文献

The present study investigates the preparation of celecoxib-loaded albumin microspheres and the biodistribution of technetium-99m
(99mTc)-labeled celecoxib as well as its microspheres after intravenous administration. Microspheres were prepared using a natural
polymer BSA using emulsification chemical cross-linking method. The prepared microspheres were characterized for entrapment
efficiency, particle size, and in vitro drug release. Surface morphology was studied by scanning electron microscopy. Biodistribution
studies were performed by radiolabeling celecoxib (CS) and its microspheres (CMS) using99mTc and injecting arthritic rats intravenously. The geometric mean diameter of the microspheres was found to be 5.46 μm. In
vitro release studies indicated that the microspheres sustained the release of the drug for }6 days. Radioactivity measured
in different organs after intravenous administration of celecoxib solution showed a significant amount of radioactivity in
the liver and spleen. In case of celecoxib-loaded microspheres, a significant amount of radioactivity accumulated in the lungs.
No significant difference (P>.1) in the radioactivity was observed between the inflamed joint and the noninflamed joint following intravenous injection
of99mTc-CS. However, in case of the microspheres (CMS), the radioactivity present in the inflamed joint was 2.5-fold higher than
in the noninflamed joint. The blood kinetic studies revealed that celecoxib-loaded albumin microspheres exhibited prolonged
circulation than the celecoxib solution. 相似文献

Poor patient compliance, untoward reactions and unstable blood drug levels after the bolus administration are impeding the pharmacotherapy for insobriety. A long-acting preparation may address these limitations. The aim of this paper was to further investigate the in vitro characteristics and in vivo performances of nalmefene microspheres. Nalmefene was blended with poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) to prepare the target microspheres by an O/O emulsification solvent evaporation method. The prepared microspheres exhibited a controlled release profile of nalmefene in vitro over 4 weeks, which was well fitted with a first-order model. In vitro degradation study showed that the drug release in vitro was dominated by both drug diffusion and polymer degradation mechanisms. Pharmacokinetics study indicated that the prepared microspheres could provide a relatively constant of nalmefene plasma concentration for at least one month in rats. The in vivo pharmacokinetics profile was well correlated with the in vitro drug release. Pharmacodynamics studies revealed that the drug loaded microspheres could produce a long-acting antagonism efficacy on rats. These results demonstrated the promising application of injectable PLGA microspheres containing nalmefene for the long-term treatment of alcohol dependence. 相似文献

The purpose of this research was to formulate and system-atically evaluate in vitro and in vivo performances of mucoadhesive
microspheres of glipizide. Glipizide microspheres containing chitosan were prepared by simple emulsification phase separation
technique using glutaraldehyde as a cross-linking agent. Results of preliminary trials indicate that volume of cross-linking
agent, time for cross-linking, polymer-to-drug ratio, and speed of rotation affected characteristics of microspheres. Microspheres
were discrete, spherical, and free flowing. The microspheres exhibited good mucoadhesive property in the in vitro wash-off
test and also showed a high percentage drug entrapment efficiency. A 32 full factorial design was employed to study the effect of independent variables, polymer-to-drug ratio (X
1), and stirring speed (X
2) on dependent variables percentage mucoadhesion, t80, drug entrapment efficiency, and swelling index. The best batch exhibited a high drug entrapment efficiency of 75% and a
swelling index of 1.42; percentage mucoadhesion after 1 hour was 78%. The drug release was also sustained for more than 12
hours. The polymer-to-drug ratio had a more significant effect on the dependent variables. In vivo testing of the mucoadhesive
microspheres to albino Wistar rats demonstrated significant hypoglycemic effect of glipizide. 相似文献

The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of processing variables and formulation factors on the characteristics of hot-melt extrudates containing a copolymer (Kollidon® VA 64). Nifedipine was used as a model drug in all of the extrudates. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was utilized on the physical mixtures and melts of varying drug–polymer concentrations to study their miscibility. The drug–polymer binary mixtures were studied for powder flow, drug release, and physical and chemical stabilities. The effects of moisture absorption on the content uniformity of the extrudates were also studied. Processing the materials at lower barrel temperatures (115–135°C) and higher screw speeds (50–100 rpm) exhibited higher post-processing drug content (~99–100%). DSC and X-ray diffraction studies confirmed that melt extrusion of drug–polymer mixtures led to the formation of solid dispersions. Interestingly, the extrusion process also enhanced the powder flow characteristics, which occurred irrespective of the drug load (up to 40% w/w). Moreover, the content uniformity of the extrudates, unlike the physical mixtures, was not sensitive to the amount of moisture absorbed. The extrusion conditions did not influence drug release from the extrudates; however, release was greatly affected by the drug loading. Additionally, the drug release from the physical mixture of nifedipine–Kollidon® VA 64 was significantly different when compared to the corresponding extrudates (f2 = 36.70). The extrudates exhibited both physical and chemical stabilities throughout the period of study. Overall, hot-melt extrusion technology in combination with Kollidon® VA 64 produced extrudates capable of higher drug loading, with enhanced flow characteristics, and excellent stability.KEY WORDS: extrusion, Kollidon® VA 64, moisture absorption, nifedipine, solid dispersion 相似文献

Dermatan sulfate (DS), a glycosaminoglycan family, was investigated as a additive to enhance the stability of therapeutic
protein with low p/ value loaded in poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres prepared by water-in-oil-in-water (W1/O/W2) method. DS maintains negative charge below pH 3.0 because of its sulfate groups, while most anionic polymer with carboxyl
groups becomes neutral charge at that pH. Thus, at pH 3.0 DS can form a polyelectrolyte complex with a protein with lower
p/ such as exendin-4, insulin, and human growth hormone. In order to complex with DS, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was employed
as a model protein, which has low p/value (p/= 4.8). The complex prepared at pH 3.0 showed a nano-size in the range of 100∼200
nm with a mono distribution. During the preparation of PLGA depot, DS concentration in water phase increases with decreasing
the formation of non-covalent BSA aggregates and enhancing BSA loading efficiency. It means that DS/BSA complex system enabled
to keep a stability of BSA at the water/organic interface. In an in vitro BSA release test, PLGA depot with DS exhibited a lower initial burst kinetic than only PLGA depot and continuous BSA release
in almost 100% for 23 days. From the results, it was concluded that DS as an additive in PLGA depot, has a potential for the
long-term delivery of therapeutic proteins with lower p/ value. 相似文献

The preparation of microcapsules consisting of poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) polymer shell and aqueous core is a clear challenge and hence has been rarely addressed in literature. Herein, aqueous core-PLGA shell microcapsules have been prepared by internal phase separation from acetone-water in oil emulsion. The resulting microcapsules exhibited mean particle size of 1.1?±?0.39 μm (PDI?=?0.35) with spherical surface morphology and internal poly-nuclear core morphology as indicated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The incorporation of water molecules into PLGA microcapsules was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Aqueous core-PLGA shell microcapsules and the corresponding conventional PLGA microspheres were prepared and loaded with risedronate sodium as a model drug. Interestingly, aqueous core-PLGA shell microcapsules illustrated 2.5-fold increase in drug encapsulation in comparison to the classical PLGA microspheres (i.e., 31.6 vs. 12.7%), while exhibiting sustained release behavior following diffusion-controlled Higuchi model. The reported method could be extrapolated to encapsulate other water soluble drugs and hydrophilic macromolecules into PLGA microcapsules, which should overcome various drawbacks correlated with conventional PLGA microspheres in terms of drug loading and release. 相似文献

Synthesis and properties of star-shaped polylactide attached to poly(amidoamine) dendrimer 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Star-shaped polylactide was synthesized by bulk polymerization of lactide with poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer as initiator, which was marked as PAMAM-g-PLA for simplicity. The nonlinear architecture of PAMAM-g-PLA was confirmed by gel permeation chromatograph, nuclear magnetic resonance, and differential scanning calorimetry analysis. Unlike the linear polylactide (PLA) with similar molecular weight, PAMAM-g-PLA had a higher hydrophilicity and a faster degradation rate because of shortened polymer chains and increased polar terminal endgroups due to its branch structure. The highly branched structure significantly accelerated the release of water-soluble bovine serum albumin from PAMAM-g-PLA microspheres, whereas the linear PLA with similar molecular weight exhibited an initial time lag release. This star polymer may have potential applications for hydrophilic drug delivery in tissue engineering, including growth factor and antibodies to induce tissue regeneration, by adjusting the chain lengths of PLA branches. 相似文献

The objective of this work was to prepare and evaluate ketorolac tromethamine-loaded albumin microspheres using a factorial
design. Albumin microspheres were prepared by emulsion cross-linking method. Selected formulations were characterized for
their entrapment efficiency, particle size, surface morphology, and release behavior. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) for entrapment
efficiency indicated that entrapment efficiency is best fitted to a response surface linear model. From the statistical analysis
it was observed that as the drug:polymer (D∶P) ratio and volume of glutaraldehyde increased, there was a significant increase
in the encapsulation efficiency. Scanning electron microscopy of the microspheres revealed a spherical, nonporous and uniform
appearance, with a smooth surface. Based on the entrapment efficiency and physical appearance, 9 formulations were selected
for release study. The maximum particle size observed was below 40 μm. The release pattern was biphasic, characterized by
an initial burst effect followed by a slow release. All selected microspheres, except those having less polymer proportion
(D∶P ratio is 1∶1), exhibited a prolonged release for almost 24 hours. On comparingr
2 values for Higuchi and Peppas kinetic models, different batches of microspheres showed Fickian, non-Fickian, and diffusion
kinetics. The release mechanism was regulated by D∶P ratio and amount of cross-linking agent. From the experimental data obtained
with respect to particle size and extent of drug relaase, it could be concluded that the prepared microspheres are useful
for once-a-day intramuscular administration of ketorolac tromethamine.

Glutaraldehyde and glyoxal cross-linked chitosan microspheres for controlled delivery of centchroman 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Glutaraldehyde and glyoxal cross-linked microspheres were prepared using chitosan with different molecular weights (MWs) and degrees of deacetylation (DDAs) for sustained release of centchroman under physiological conditions. The DDA in chitosan was determined by different methods, and the samples were categorized as chitosan with low (48%), medium (62%), and high (75%) DDA. The size and shape of the microspheres were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and hydrophobicity was determined by adsorption of Rose Bengal dye on microspheres cross-linked with glutaraldehyde or glyoxal. The effect of MW, DDA, and degree of cross-linking in microspheres was studied on the degree of swelling, as well as by the loading and release of centchroman. The glyoxal cross-linked microspheres were more compact and hydrophobic and showed better sustained release in companion to chitosan microspheres and glutaraldehyde cross-linked microspheres. The linear fractional release of centchroman with the square root of time indicated a Fickian behavior of centchroman, and the microspheres also showed zero-order release kinetics for centchroman. 相似文献
