Methods Orthogonalexperiment was used to optimize the method of CFX-PLA-MS preparation. Microspheres werecharacterized in terms of morphology, size, encapsulation efficiency, drug loading and in vitro drugrelease. Results The physical state of CFX-PLA-MS was determined by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) . Microspheres formed were spherical with smoothsurfaces. Drug was enveloped in microspheres without mixing physically with PLA. The averageparticle size was 280.80 ± 0.15 μm, with over 90% of microspheres falling in the range of 250 -390 μm. The encapsulation efficiency was 65.8% ± 0.58% and the drug loading was 34.1% ± 0.51% .In vitro release study revealed a profile of sustained release of Ciprofloxacin from CFX-PLA-MS. Theaccumulated release percentage and half-life (T_(1/2) of Ciprofloxacin microspheres were 84.0% in53.2 h, and 31.9 h, respectively. Higuchi equation was Q= -0.0043 + 0.003 9 t^(1/2), r = 0.9941.Conclusion Ciprofloxacin microspheres have been successfully prepared and sustained release of CFXfrom microspheres is achieved.展开更多

Release kinetics equations were used to fit the drug release behavior. The effects of particle size and release medium pH on the release rate were also investigated. The indoor toxicity of emamectin benzoate-loaded polylactic acid microspheres on the diamondback moth larva （Plutella xylostella） was studied to explore drug sustained-release performance. In acidic and neutral media, the drug release behavior of the microspheres was in accord with the first-order kinetics equation. Increasing the spray dosage of emamectin benzoate-loaded polylactic acid microspheres initially resulted in an equivalent insecticidal efficacy with the conventional emamectin benzoate microemulsion. However, the drug persistence period was four-fold longer than that observed using the conventional formulation. The developed emamectin benzoate-loaded polylactic acid microspheres showed dramatic sustained-release performance. A treatment threshold of greater than 35 mg mL-1 was established for an efficient accumulated release concentration of emamectin benzoate-loaded microspheres.展开更多

METHEDS: The orthogonal test design was used to optimize the technology of preparation. The character of the microspheres, drug release in vitro, stability and tissue distribution were examined. RESULTS: The Erythromycin polylactic acid microspheres was regular in its morphology. Drug was enveloped in microspheres but not physically mixed with PDLLA. The average particle size was 11.65mm with over 94% of the microspheres being in the range of 5~20mm; The drug loading and the incorporation efficiency were 18% and 60% respectively. The microspheres were stable for three month at 4℃ and room temperature. The in vitro release properties could be expressed by the Higuchi抯 equation: y = 28.067 + 3.8515t1/2 (r = 0.9834). Comparing with injection, the drug in microspheres was more concentrated in lung tissue. CONCLUSION: Erythromycin polylactic acid microspheres showed significant sustained release and lung targeting.展开更多
