Formulation and Release Characteristics of Zidovudine-Loaded Solidified Lipid Microparticles

Formulation and evaluation of Zidovudine loaded chitosan Microspheres for controlled release

The aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate zidovudine loaded chitosan microspheres for controlled drug release. Microspheres were prepared by emulsification method using gluteraldehyde as crosslinking agent. The prepared microspheres were characterized for their yield and drug loading, as well by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffractometry and Scanning e...

Theophylline-Ethylcellulose Microparticles: Screening of the Process and Formulation Variables for Preparation of Sustained Release Particles

Objective(s) The aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate microencapsulated controlled release preparations of theophylline using ethylcellulose as the retardant material with high entrapment efficiency. Materials and Methods Microspheres were prepared by water-in-oil-in-oil (W/O1/O2) emulsion-solvent diffusion (ESD). A mixed solvent system consisting of acetonitrile and dichloromet...

Influence of Additives on Fabrication and Release from Protein Loaded Microparticles

       The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of additives, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) 1450, poloxamer 407, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium chloride in order to improve physico-chemical characteristics, encapsulation efficiency and in vitro release of bovine serum albumin, form poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles prepared by the w/o/w solvent evaporation...

lamotrigine loaded solid lipid microparticles: preparation, formulation and in vitro characterization

Formulation and pharmacodynamic evaluation of captopril sustained release microparticles.

Cellulose propionate (CP) microparticles containing captopril (CAP) were prepared by solvent evaporation technique. The effects of polymer molecular weight, polymer composition and drug:polymer ratios on the particle size, flow properties, morphology, surface properties and release characteristics of the prepared captopril microparticles were examined. The anti-hypertensive effect of the select...
