目的：考察聚乳酸微球体外长期释放和加速释放的相关性，建立辛伐他汀聚乳酸微球的体外加速释放方法。方法：用紫外分光光度法测定微球中辛伐他汀的含量。采用改良的摇瓶培养法分别在不同温度的介质中进行体外加速释放试验和长期释放试验。用点点相关法考察两者的相关性。结果：PLA10000和PLA20000制备的微球在37℃放置30d内的释放分别达到92．68％和84．07％，微球在44℃，48℃和50℃下的释放均明显加速，释放动力学分别符合一级释药方程及Higuchi方程。辛伐他汀聚乳酸微球在48℃条件下的加速释放与在37℃的长期释放有良好的相关性。结论：辛伐他汀聚乳酸微球具有很好的缓释能力，采用体外加速试验的方法可以快速考察辛伐他汀聚乳酸微球的体外释药行为。

目的:制备重组人血管内皮抑制素(恩度)缓释微球,并对微球理化性质及体外释放行为进行初步考察。方法:采用乳化溶剂挥发法(W/O/O)制备恩度载药微球;对微球载药量、粒径、突释、体外释放速率及降解行为进行考察,同时利用凝胶电泳初步评价体外释放过程中恩度的完整性。结果:增加聚乳酸-羟基乙酸嵌段共聚物(PLGA)中羟基乙酸的比例、提高PLGA浓度、降低内水相体积、提高理论载药量均增加微球载药能力;降低内水相体积、提高分散速度均减小突释。增加PLGA中羟基乙酸的比例,30 d时累积释放可增加到65%。降解实验说明释放初期微球主要以扩散方式释放恩度,释放后期主要表现为微球的降解。凝胶电泳结果表明微球制备过程对蛋白质聚集性的影响不大。结论:用PLGA作为载体材料制备微球,可以延缓恩度的释放。

Use of hydrodynamic flow focusing for the generation of biodegradable camptothecin-loaded polymer microspheres

The present study was conducted to investigate the use of hydrodynamic flow focusing for the generation of biodegradable polymer microspheres encapsulating the anticancer drug camptothecin. Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and poly(L-lactide) (PLA) were used as the matrix materials. Camptothecin was dissolved in the disperse phase and microspheres with a mean size between 2 and 3 microm generated using hydrodynamic flow focusing. When up to 1 wt.% of the drug was added to PLA, the drug encapsulation efficiency was 64%. For PLGA, the drug encapsulation efficiency was between 39 and 46%. Drug release from PLA particles was rapid and complete within 6 h, while drug release from PLGA particles showed no burst effect and followed a first order release profile. The encapsulated camptothecin stayed in its active lactone form, as shown by HPLC, and was able to exert cell toxic effects as shown by a cell viability assay. Hydrodynamic flow focusing is a promising tool for the preparation of drug-releasing biodegradable microspheres typically made by solvent evaporation and/or solvent extraction, as indicated by the successful encapsulation of the anticancer drug camptothecin.     

Ketotifen-loaded microspheres prepared by spray-drying poly(D,L-lactide) and poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) polymers: characterization and in vivo evaluation

Ketotifen (KT) was encapsulated into poly(D,L-lactide) (PLA) and poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA 50/50) by spray-drying to investigate the use of biodegradable drug-loaded microspheres as delivery systems in the intraperitoneal cavity. Ketotifen stability was evaluated by HPLC, and degradation was not observed. Drug entrapment efficiency was 74 +/- 7% (82 +/- 8 microg KT/mg for PLA) and 81 +/- 6% (90 +/- 7 microg KT/mg for PLGA 50/50). PLA microspheres released ketotifen (57% of encapsulated KT) in 350 h at two release rates (221 microg/h, 15 min to 2 h; 1.13 microg/h, 5-350 h). A quicker release of ketotifen took place from PLGA 50/50 microspheres (67.4% of encapsulated KT) in 50 h (322 microg/h, 15 min to 2 h; 16.18 microg/h, 5-50 h). After intraperitoneal administration (10 mg KT/kg b.w.), microsphere aggregations were detected in adipose tissue. Ketotifen concentration was determined in plasma by HPLC. The drug released from PLA and PLGA 50/50 microspheres was detected at 384 and 336 h, respectively. Noncompartmental analysis was performed to determine pharmacokinetic parameters. The inclusion of ketotifen in PLGA and PLA microspheres resulted in significant changes in the plasma disposition of the drug. Overall, these ketotifen-loaded microspheres yielded an intraperitoneal drug release that may be suitable for use as delivery systems in the treatment of inflammatory response in portal hypertension.

5-Fluorouracil-loaded chitosan coated polylactic acid microspheres as biodegradable drug carriers for cerebral tumours

The development of injectable microspheres for anticancer drug delivery into the brain is a major challenge. The possibility of entrapping 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in chitosan coated monodisperse biodegradable microspheres with a mean diameter of 10-25 um was demonstrated. An emulsion of 5-FU (in water) and polylactic acid (PLA) dissolved in acetone-dichloromethane mixture was poured into an aqueous solution of chitosan (or poly-vinyl alcohol) with stirring using a high-speed homogenizer, for the formation of microspheres. 5-FU recovery in microspheres ranged from 44-66% depending on the polymer and emulsification systems used for the preparation. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the chitosan coated microspheres had less surface micropores compared to PVA based preparations. The drug release behaviour from microspheres suspended in phosphate buffered saline exhibited a biphasic pattern. The amount of drug release was much higher initially (approximately 25%), followed by a constant slow release profile for a 30 days period of study. This chitosan coated PLA/PLGA microsphere formulation may have potential for the targeted delivery of 5-FU to treat cerebral tumours.

Slow Release Formulations of Inhaled Rifampin

Rifampin microspheres were prepared by spray drying using either polylactic acid (PLA) or poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) polymers in different drug to polymer ratios (90:10 to 5:95, w/w). The in-vitro release characteristics, particle-size distribution, and cytotoxicity (in an alveolar macrophage cell line) and pharmacokinetics in rats after pulmonary instillation were evaluated. Increasing the polymer content from 10% to 95% slowed down the in vitro drug release with PLGA particles showing a steeper change with increasing polymer content (100% to 20% drug release over 6 h) than PLA particles (88% to 42% drug release over 6 h). PLA microsphere formulations revealed lack of cytotoxicity and a mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMDA) of 2.22-2.86 mum, while PLGA particles were larger (MMDA of 4.67-5.11 mum). Pharmacokinetics differed among the formulations with the 10% PLA formulation showing a distinct sustained release (t (max) of 2 h vs 0.5 h of free drug) and a systemic bioavailability similar to that of free drug. Formulations with high polymer content showed a lower relative bioavailability (30%). This suggested that an optimal release rate existed for which a distinct amount of drug was delivered over an extended period of time.
