Microspheres prepared with biodegradable PHBV and PLA polymers as prolonged-release system for ibuprofen: in vitro drug release and in vivo evaluation

Abstract: In this study, poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and poly(l-lactide) (PLA) microspheres containing ibuprofen were prepared with the aim of prolonging the drug release. The oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion solvent evaporation technique was used, varying the polymer ratio. All formulations provided spherical particles with drug crystals on the surface and a porous and rough polymeric matrix when PHBV was used and smooth external surface when prepared with PLA. The in vitro dissolution profiles show that… Show more

“…On the other hand, the initial burst release is controlled by a diffusive escape of the drug, and since its release begins at the surface of the microsphere, the more regular surface porosity of the complexed TPy‐functionalized PLAs could enhance this initial release . By contrast, the smooth surface of the TPy–PLA–OH microspheres hinders penetration, and a prolonged release is observed, as also reported by Bazzo et al…”

“…At present, most of the researches on the biomedical field of drug release are concentrated on the first and second generations, with some on the third generation, while research on the fourth generation, especially the research on drug stents, is almost absent. For example, Bazzo et al [ 7 ] prepared PHBV/PLA microspheres containing ibuprofen, to prolong the drug release and in vitro dissolution profiles, and showed that the formulation containing PHBV/PLA at the proportion of 30/70 gave the best results, in terms of prolonging the ibuprofen release. Li et al [ 8 ] prepared composite microspheres from bioactive wollastonite (W) and PHBV.…”

“…The sustained slow release of IBUP from porous and hydrogel microspheres of PLGA copolymers outlined their potential use in the treatment of osteoarticular conditions [48,49]. Various biodegradable polysaccharides [50][51][52][53][54] and polyesters [55][56][57][58][59] have been evaluated as promising loading and releasing matrices for IBUP, enabling the development of unconventional and effective therapeutic systems.…”
