The microspheres were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The morphology, drug content, encapsulation efficiency and drug-release behavior were investigated with different MMT contents. The experimental results indicated that intercalated microspheres could be prepared, the morphology of microspheres was markedly affected by MMT. The glomeration performance of uncross-linked microspheres was improved because of the physical cross-linking of MMT. Drug content and encapsulation efficiency were decreased when increased the content of MMT, but burst release and the drug release were significantly decreased with the addition of MMT. Effective physical cross-linking could be formed when added MMT, and MMT could reduce the content of toxic chemical cross-linking agents.展开更多

X-ray diffraction and transition electron microscope results show that the film properties are related to the co-existence of Na^+MMT intercalation/exfoliation in the blend and the interaction between chitosan–PVA and Na^+MMT. 5-Fluorouracil(5-FU) was loaded with chitosan–PVA/Na^+MMT nanocomposite films for in vitro drug delivery study. The antimicrobial activity of the chitosan–PVA/Na^+MMT films showed significant effect against Salmonella(Gram-negative) and Staphylococcus aureus(Gram-positive), whereas5-FU encapsulated chitosan–PVA/Na^+MMT bio-nanocomposite films did not show any inhibition against bacteria. Our results indicate that combination of a flexible and soft polymeric material with high drug loading ability of a hard inorganic porous material can produce improved control over degradation and drug release. It will be an economically viable method for preparation of advanced drug delivery vehicles and biodegradable implants or scaffolds.展开更多

The results indicated that CTP/CGNPMs had a spherical shape,smooth surface and integral structure inside but no adhesive phenomena in the preparation. The size distribution ranged from 220 μm to 280 μm. The CTP release test in vitro demonstrated that CTP/CGNPMs played the role of retarding the release of CTP compared with ordinary CTP tablets. The release behaviors of CGNPMS were influenced by preparation conditions such as experimental material ratio(EMR) and composition of cross linking reagents. Among these factors,the EMR(1/4),CLR(FA+SPP) and 0.75% microcrystalline cellulose(MCC) added to the microspheres constituted the optimal scheme for the preparation of CTP/CGNPMs. The ER,DL and SR of CTP/CGNPMs prepared according to the optimal scheme were 46.23±4.51%,9.95±0.77% and 261±42%,respectively. The CTP/CGNPMs had the good characteristics of sustained release of drug and the process of emulsification and cross-linking were simple and stable. The CGNPMs are likely to be an ideal sustained release formulation for water-soluble drugs.展开更多

A cross linked reagent alone or in combination with microcrystalline cellulose ( MCC ) was added in the process of preparation of microspheres to eliminate dose dumping and burst phenomenon of microspheres for the improvemeat of the therapeutic efficiency and the decrease of the side effects of captopril ( Cap ). The results indicate that Cap/ CGNPMs have a spherical shape , smooth surface roorphology and integral inside structure and no adhesive phenomena and good roobility , and the size distribution is mairdy from 220 to 280 μm. Researches on the Cap release test in vitro demonstrate that Cap/ CGNPMs are of the role of retarding release of Cap compared with Cap ordinary tablets (COT), embedding ratio (ER) , drug loading ( DL ), and swelling ratio ( SR ), and release behaviors of CGNPMS are influenced by process conditions of preparation such as experimental material ratio (EMR) , composition of cross linking reagents. Among these factors , the EMR(1/4), CLR ( FOR + TPP) and 0.75% microcrystulline cellulose (MCC) added to the microspheres are the optimal scheme to the preparation of Cap/CGNPMs. The Cap/CGNPMs have a good characteristic of sustained release of drug, and the process of emulsifieation and crossinking process is simple and stable. The CGNPMs is probable to be one of an ideal sustained release system for water-soluble drugs.展开更多

The conditions of the microspheres preparation such as polymer concentration in organic solvent, relative molecular weight of PLA-PEG and PLA/PEG mass ratio were discussed. The surface morphology and the size of the microspheres were observed by SEM. The drug content of microspheres was examined by TGA and the drug release in vitro was evaluated. According to the results, the drug content increased with the nano-silica used. The highest drug content in this study was 39.9%. The drug-release kinetics satisfied the requirements of controlled drug-release.展开更多
