Preparation of Lysozyme-loaded PLGA Microspheres by SPG Membrane Emulsification / 中国药师

ABSTRACT

Objective:To develop a new preparation process of PLGA microparticles for protein drugs by SPG membrane emulsifi-cation combined with W/O/W double emulsion-solvent technique. Methods:Lysozyme was used as the model drug to prepare the mi-croparticles. The influence of formula factors on the properties of the microparticles was studied, and the physicochemical properties, in vivo compatibility and degradation of the microparticles were investigated as well. Results:The drug loading of lysozyme-loaded mi-croparticles was 35%, the entrapment efficiency was 72. 43% and the average size was 63. 89 μm with PDI of 0. 675. DSC and FTIR showed that lysozyme was entrapped in the microparticles. The microspheres had promising biocompatibility and sustained degradation in vivo. Conclusion:The paper describes a new satisfactory preparation process of PLGA microparticles for protein drugs with good in vitro and in vivo properties.
