Microencapsulation using Poly(L-Lactic Acid) I: Microcapsule Properties Affected by the Preparative Technique

Abstract: Microcapsules were prepared using a poly (L-lactic acid) (L = PLA), mol. wt. 43,200, by an emulsification and solvent evaporation technique. Phenobarbitone (PB) was used as a reference drug, (core to polymer ratio, 1:1). Both the o/w and w/o emulsion system were investigated in order to study microcapsule properties affected by the preparative technique. In the o/w system, dichloromethane (DCM) was used to dissolve L = PLA and PB and the resulting solution was dispersed in 1 per cent aqueous gelatin solution. … Show more

“…The method depends on the formation of an emulsion system initially and then the evaporation of the solvent used in the inner phase. Considering the solubility of the drug and polymer, there are principally two systems from which to choose: water-in-oil (w/o) or oil-in-water (o/w) (Huang and Ghebre-Sellassie, 1989;Jalil and Nixon, 1989). In the present study, w/o system was chosen since IND and PMMA are soluble in acetone, a water-miscible solvent.…”

“…Preparation of ethyl cellulose microcapsule: EC microcapsules containing SS were prepared using the emulsification and organic solvent evaporation technique (Jalil et al, 1989). Acetone was used as polymer solvent, light liquid paraffin (LLP) as the microcapsulating vehicle and n-hexane as the decanter of paraffin oil.…”
