Unlike controlled release systems that deliver a single drug, dual or multidrug delivery systems with distinct release profiles are more likely to promote timely and effective tissue regeneration as they provide both temporally and concentration-dependent release of different molecules to mimic natural biological events. In this study, an injectable and biodegradable delivery system was developed to sequentially release an antiresorptive drug (clodronate) followed by an osteogenic agent (simvastatin) to treat bone disease. The injectable delivery system comprised simvastatin-loaded gelatin microspheres suspended in a viscous solution of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) containing clodronate. Several factors (CMC concentration, glutaraldehyde concentration, simvastatin loading, and gelatin microsphere processing conditions) were investigated for their effects on drug release. Clodronate release was not affected by CMC concentration, with complete delivery within 12 hr, and simvastatin release could be modulated by cross-linking of the gelatin microspheres, loading, and washing conditions. Burst release of simvastatin was reduced from 70% to 6% in conjunction with sustained release for up to 3 weeks. The combined system showed early release of the antiresorptive clodronate sequentially followed by sustained delivery of the osteogenic simvastatin. This robust and flexible two-phase delivery system may prove useful for applications in which multiple drug delivery is desired.  相似文献

Hyaluronan (HA) , the consistent glycosaminoglycans in extracellular matrix, is a kind of biomaterials with wonderful biocompatibility. To develop drug release system (DDS) with HA as drug carrier is a new hotspot in the field of pharmaceutics. In this paper, we applied technique of ultrosound and reversed phase (Water/Oil) emulsification to develop dexamethasone (DEX)-HA-STMP cross-linking microspheres (DEX-HA MS) with STMP as cross-linker. DEX-HA MS has a wonderful shape and property of dispersion. There is a negative correlation between diameter of DEX-HA MS and the content of cross-linker, or the content of emulsifier, and a positive correlation between the diameter and CHA. When CHA ≤ 1% ,DEX/HA≤ 1/10 (g/g) ,there is a positive correlation between the factors mentioned below and drug loading ( DL% )/loading efficiency ( LE% ), the content of STMP, the content of emulsifier, CHA and the content of DEX. DEX-HA-MS can realize function of slow release. In vitro drug release experiment shows that cumulative release (CR%) of DEX-HA MS fits in with pervasion-corrosion equation, and there is a negative correlation between the content of STMP, CHA and CR%, a positive correlation between emulsifier and CR%. When DEX/HA ≤ 1/5 (g/g) there is a negative correla- tion between the content of DEX and CR%.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Curcumin can inhibit inflammation and promote axonal growth, but it has a short half-life and a fast clearance rate. OBJECTIVE: To prepare curcumin sustained-release microspheres to release curcumin slowly and continuously. METHODS: Curcumin sustained-release microspheres were synthesized by O/W emulsification volatilization method using polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer as raw material. The preset drug loading rates were 10% and 20%, respectively, and set as No. 1 and No. 2 microspheres. The curcumin sustained release microspheres were synthesized by O/W emulsification volatilization method using L-lactic acid-polycaprolactone copolymer as raw material. The preset drug loading rates were 10% and 20%, respectively, and the microspheres were set as No. 3 and No. 4. The surface morphology of the microspheres was observed by scanning electron microscopy, and the drug loading and encapsulation efficiency of the microspheres were determined by high performance liquid chromatography. Four groups of microspheres were immersed in PBS release solution containing 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate, and the sustained release of curcumin microspheres was detected under simulated physiological environment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Scanning electron microscopy showed that the particle size and morphology of No. 3 and No. 4 curcumin microspheres were better than those of No. 1 and No. 2 curcumin microspheres. (2) The encapsulation rate of No. 3 microspheres was higher than that of the other three groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), and there was no significant difference in the encapsulation rate of No. 1, 2 and 4 microspheres (P > 0.05). (3) The drug loading rates of No. 2, 3 and 4 microspheres were higher than that of No. 1 microsphere (P < 0.01), and the drug loading rates of No. 2 and 4 microspheres were higher than that of No. 3 microsphere (P < 0.01). (4) The in vitro release of No. 3 curcumin sustained-release microspheres lasted for 14 days, and the release of the other three kinds of microspheres lasted for 21 days. The cumulative release rate of No. 1 and No. 3 was higher than that of No. 2 and No. 4, and the curcumin release concentration of No. 3 was higher than that of No. 1. (5) The results showed that slow-release effect of the curcumin sustained-release microspheres with a preset loading rate of 10% prepared by L-lactic acid-polycaprolactone copolymer best meets the Zero order release requirements. © 2022, Publishing House of Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research.

背景:5-氟尿嘧啶-聚乳酸-乙醇酸共聚物缓释微球在青光眼滤过术后抑制滤过泡的瘢痕化具有潜在应用价值,但微球制备程序复杂,微球载药量一般较低,且药物突释现象明显。 目的:比较乳化溶剂挥发法制备的5-氟尿嘧啶-聚乳酸-乙醇酸共聚物微球和喷雾成膜法制备的5-氟尿嘧啶-聚乳酸-乙醇酸共聚物缓释膜两种缓释剂的形态、载药量、体外释放规律,以探讨获得缓释效果较佳的5-氟尿嘧啶缓释剂制备方法。 方法:以聚乳酸-乙醇酸共聚物为载体,采用乳化溶剂挥发法制备5-氟尿嘧啶-聚乳酸-乙醇酸共聚物微球;用喷雾成膜法制备5-氟尿嘧啶-聚乳酸-乙醇酸共聚物缓释膜。 结果与结论:用乳化溶剂挥发法制备的微球外观圆整,粒径为(4 447.4±359.8) nm,载药量(8.67±0.37)%,包封率为(86.68± 1.92)%;用喷雾成膜法制备的缓释膜表面光滑平整,质量为(13.76±0.26) mg ,直径为6 mm ,厚度为(0.24±0.005) mm,载药量(23.76±0.37)%,包封率为(95.04±1.36)%。缓释剂制备过程未影响5-氟尿嘧啶的药物性能。微球体外释放突释明显,缓释膜的体外释放平稳持久,释放曲线符合Higuchi方程。结果表明缓释膜制备方法更简单易行,且能明显提高缓释剂的载药量,降低突释现象,同时延长药物的缓释时间。 关键词:聚乳酸-聚乙醇酸;5-氟尿嘧啶;微球;缓释膜;体外释放 doi:10.3969/j.issn.1673-8225.2012.08.022  相似文献

Poly(vinyl alcohol)-guar gum interpenetrating network microspheres were prepared by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. Nifedipine, an antihypertensive drug, was loaded into these matrices before and after cross-linking to study its release patterns. The extent of cross-linking was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Furthermore, the microspheres were characterized for drug entrapment efficiency, particle size, transport of water into the matrix and drug release kinetics. Scanning electron microscopic photographs confirmed the spherical nature and surface morphology. The mean particle size of the microspheres was found to be around 300 microm. The molecular transport phenomenon, as studied by the dynamic swelling experiments, indicated that an increase in cross-linking affected the transport mechanism from Fickian to non-Fickian. The in vitro release study indicated that the release from these microspheres is not only dependent upon the extent of cross-linking, but also on the amount of the drug loaded as well as the method of drug loading.  相似文献

Biodegradable microspheres were prepared through glutaraldehyde cross-linking of gelatin without using any surfactants as a carrier matrix of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). In the in vitro system, bFGF was sorbed to microspheres of acidic gelatin with an isoelectric point (IEP) of 5.0, but not to those of basic gelatin with an IEP of 9.0. The rate of bFGF sorption to the acidic gelatin microsphere in phosphate-buffered saline solution (pH 7.4) was smaller than that in water. Following incorporation of bFGF into the microspheres at 4 degrees C for 12 h, bFGF release from the bFGF-incorporating microspheres was studied. Approximately 30% of incorporated bFGF was released from the acidic gelatin microsphere within the initial 3 h, followed by no substantial release, whereas the basic gelatin microsphere released almost completely the incorporated bFGF within 1 day. It is likely that when basic bFGF molecules were immobilized to the acidic gelatin constituting microspheres through polyion complexation, they were not readily released under the in vitro nondegradation condition of gelatin. Incorporation of anionic carboxylmethyl cellulose (CMC) into the acidic gelatin microspheres reduced the amount of bFGF desorbed initially. This indicates that the initial burst is ascribed to free bFGF which is not ionically interacted with the acidic gelatin. CMC will function as a bFGF sorbent to suppress the initial leakage from the microspheres. When injected subcutaneously into the mouse back, bFGF-incorporating acidic gelatin microspheres were degraded over time and induced neovascularization around the injection site, in marked contrast to bFGF in the solution form. CMC incorporation slowed down the biodegradation and vascularization effect of bFGF-incorporating gelatin microspheres. It was concluded that the gelatin microsphere was a promising carrier matrix of bFGF to enhance the vascularization effect.  相似文献

This article describes the effects of six processing parameters on the release kinetics of a model drug Texas red dextran (TRD) from poly(propylene fumarate)/poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PPF/PLGA) blend microspheres as well as the degradation of these microspheres. The microspheres were fabricated using a double emulsion-solvent extraction technique in which the following six parameters were varied: PPF/PLGA ratio, polymer viscosity, vortex speed during emulsification, amount of internal aqueous phase, use of poly(vinyl alcohol) in the internal aqueous phase, and poly(vinyl alcohol) concentration in the external aqueous phase. We have previously characterized these microspheres in terms of microsphere morphology, size distribution, and TRD entrapment efficiency. In this work, the TRD release profiles in phosphate-buffered saline were determined and all formulations showed an initial burst release in the first 2 days followed by a decreased sustained release over a 38-day period. The initial burst release varied from 5.1 (+/-1.1) to 67.7 (+/-3.4)% of the entrapped TRD, and was affected most by the viscosity of the polymer solution used for microsphere fabrication. The sustained release between day 2 and day 38 ranged from 7.9 (+/-0.8) to 27.2 (+/-3.1)% of the entrapped TRD. During 11 weeks of in vitro degradation, the mass of the microspheres remained relatively constant for the first 3 weeks after which it decreased dramatically, whereas the molecular weight of the polymers decreased immediately upon placement in phosphate-buffered saline. Increasing the PPF content in the PPF/PLGA blend resulted in slower microsphere degradation. Overall, this study provides further understanding of the effects of various processing parameters on the release kinetics from PPF/PLGA blend microspheres thus allowing modulation of drug release to achieve a wide spectrum of release profiles.  相似文献

Natural polymer-derived materials have attracted increasing interest in the biomedical field. Polysaccharides have obvious advantages over other polymers employed for biomedical applications due to their exceptional biocompatibility and biodegradability. None of the spherical embolic agents used clinically is biodegradable. In the current study, microspheres prepared from chitosan and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) were investigated as a biodegradable embolic agent for arterial embolization applications. Aside from the enzymatic degradability of chitosan units, the cross-linking bonds in the matrix, Schiff bases, are susceptible to hydrolytic cleavage in aqueous conditions, which would overcome the possible shortage of enzymes inside the arteries. The size distribution, morphology, water retention capacity and degradability of the microspheres were found to be affected by the modification degree of CMC. An anticancer drug, doxorubicin, was successfully incorporated into these microspheres for local release and thus for killing cancerous cells. These microspheres demonstrated controllable degradation time, variable swelling and tunable drug release profiles. Co-culture with human umbilical vein endothelial cells revealed non-cytotoxic nature of these microspheres compared to monolayer control (P > 0.95). In addition, a preliminary study on the in vivo degradation of the microspheres (100–300 μm) was performed in a rabbit renal embolization model, which demonstrated that the microspheres were compatible with microcatheters for delivery, capable of occluding the arteries, and biodegradable inside arteries. These microspheres with biodegradability would be promising for embolization therapies.  相似文献
