A Controlled Release Microsphere Formulation of an Anti-Diabetic Drug and Characterization of the Microsphere

Abstract: Objective:Here the objective of this study was to prepare and characterize sustained release metformin loaded microsphere formulation which was prepared by W1/O/W2 emulsion solvent evaporation technique. Methods:Guar gum and sodium alginate were used as a matrix building material, whereas ethyl cellulose was applied as a coating polymer. Here various formulations were prepared by changing the drug and guar gum ratio, and the subsequent drug entrapment efficiency (DEE) and drug release were compared and evaluat… Show more

“…Microspheres containing a high concentration of the gum showed a slow release which can be related to the high viscosity of the internal aqueous phase that increased with gum concentration and alginate. However, the increment of the gum concentration had a significant impact on drug release which was retarded from 7.53 to 10.82 hours with time required for 50% of drug release (t50%) and similar trend was noticed with 80% [62].…”

“…To The results exhibited the possible synergistic effect when Cel and 5-FU were used in combination. This strategy could be used as a potential approach for the management of CRC due to controlled release phenomena [35,36].…”

“…The SEM photographs indicated that the gastrospheres were completely covered with polymer the rough texture which may be due to removal of water from gastrospheres during drying. Thus the rate of removal of water from gastrospheres exerts an influence on the morphology of final product [23][24][25][26][27][28].…”
