Abstract:Mesoporous silica SBA-15 has been a material widely studied for drug delivery due to its high biocompatibility and chemical stability, its ordered mesoporous cavities allow drug loading. However, it has a non-spherical particle shape, making it difficult to use in solid dosage forms, where spherical particles are preferred for better flow and distribution. In this regard, this study presented a novel strategy to produce spheric SBA-15 using polymeric macrospheres of a pharmaceutical grade acidic-resistant copo… Show more
