Functionalized polymeric microspheres based on a modifed polyether ether keetone (PEEK-WC) using immersion precipitation techniques were successfully prepared by doping initial polymeric solutions with DEHPA. The viscosity of the doping solution was measured for determining the optimal value for obtaining reproducible capsules. The modifed microspheres were characterize...

the purpose of this study was to prepare and characterize microspheres loaded by cyclosporine a(cya)-cyclodextrin (cd) complex. to achieve this goal, plga microspheres loaded by cya cd complex were prepared by multiple emulsificationsolvent evaporation methods.morphology, size, encapsulation efficiency and drug release from these microspheres were evaluated. microscopic evaluation of microspher...

background: radioactive yttrium glass microspheres are used for liver cancer treatment. these yttrium aluminum silicate microspheres are synthesized from yttrium, aluminum and silicone oxides by melting. there are two known processes used to transform irregular shaped glass particles into microspheres, these ‘spheroidization by flame’ and ‘spheroidization by gravitational fall in a tubular furn...

Preparation of chitosan (CS) microspheres as a novel drug delivery vehicle for intranasal immunization using high, medium and low CS molecular weight (MW) was investigated in this study. Diphtheria toxoid (DT) was used as a model antigen. The emulsion-solidification method was adopted for microencapsulation of DT.  In the first step, following the purification of semi-crude DT by the ion-exchan...

the objective of the present study was to develop floating microspheres of cefpodoxime proxetil in order to achieve an extended retention in the upper git, which may result in enhanced absorption and thereby improved bioavailability. the microspheres were prepared by non-aqueous solvent evaporation method using polymers such as hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (hpmc k 15 m), ethyl cellulose in ...
