Active self-encapsulation (ASE) is a recently developed post-loading method based on absorption of (positively charged) proteins in microporous PLGA microspheres loaded with negatively charged polysaccharides (trapping agents). The aim this study was to investigate ASE for simultaneous loading and controlled release multiple growth factors. For purpose, vascular endothelial factor (VEGF), fibro...

microspheres formulated from poly (d,l-lactic-co-glycolide) (plga), a biodegradable polymer, have been extensively evaluated as a drug delivery system. in this study, the preparation, characterization and drug release properties of the plga microspheres were evaluated. simvastatin (sim)-loaded plga microspheres were prepared by oil-in-water emulsion/solvent evaporation method. the microspheres ...

a topical o/w cream containing tretinoin microspheres was prepared. gelatin microspheres of tretinoin were prepared using coacervation method. these microspheres contained about 50% w/w tretinoin. the particle size range of microspheres was between 90-150 m m. in vitro drug release from microspheres and a cream formulation was studied. it was shown that drug release from microspheres followed h...

the purpose of this study was to prepare and characterize nimodipine loaded microspheres using ethyl cellulose (ec) as a carrier polymer through an emulsion solvent evaporation method. these evaluations characterized the pattern of drug release from prepared microspheres. nimodipin loaded microspheres were prepared using an emulsification solvent evaporation method. the effect of process variab...

the purpose of this research was to formulate and systemically evaluate in-vitro and in-vivo performances of mucoadhesive propranolol hydrochloride microspheres for its potential use in the treatment of hypertension, myocardial infraction and cardiac arrhythmias. propranolol hydrochloride mucoadhesive microspheres, containing carbopol-934p as mucoadhesive polymer and ethyl cellulose as carrier ...

objective(s): the purpose of the current study was to assess the feasibility of microspheres from biocompatible polymer for oral bioavailability (ba) enhancement of potent sulfonamide- type loop diuretic- furosemide - which used in the treatment of congestive heart failure, caused edema, cirrhosis, renal disease and as an adjunct in acute pulmonary edema. the comparatively poor and inconstant b...

The purpose of this research was to formulate and systemically evaluate in-vitro and in-vivo performances of mucoadhesive propranolol hydrochloride microspheres for its potential use in the treatment of hypertension, myocardial infraction and cardiac arrhythmias. Propranolol hydrochloride mucoadhesive microspheres, containing carbopol-934P as mucoadhesive polymer and ethyl cellulose as carrier ...

in this study, microspheres containing estradiol valerate were prepared by solvent evaporation method using poly (glycolide-co-lactide) (plga 50:50) and poly (lactide). the effect of different process variables such as polymer type, drugpolymer ratio, stirring rate, volume of internal phase and temperature of external phase on the morphology, particle size distribution, encapsulation efficiency...

The cardiovascular effects of two concentrations of Tween 80 (polyoxyethylene sorbitan mono-oleate), a surface-active agent commonly used to prevent aggregation of radionuclide-labeled microspheres, were examined in conscious dogs. Two types of adverse reactions were noted. The first (Type A) consisted of reductions in cardiac dimensions as well as hypotension and tachycardia. The second (Type ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS We investigated oral delivery of transforming growth factor beta 1 [TGFβ]- and all-trans retinoic acid [ATRA]-loaded microspheres as therapy for gut inflammation in murine models of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. METHODS ATRA and TGFβ were separately encapsulated in poly [lactic-co-glycolic] acid or polylactic acid microspheres [respectively]. TGFβ was encapsulated usin...
