Preparation and characterization of spray-dried gelatin microspheres encapsulating ganciclovir

Abstract: The aim of this study was to prepare ganciclovir (GCV)-loaded cross-linked gelatin microspheres by spray-drying method. The microspheres were characterized in terms of particle size, surface morphology, loading efficiency, thermal behavior, physical characteristics, swelling properties, and the release profile in vitro. The major process and formulation parameters were optimized to obtain smaller particles with high loading capacity. The physical state examination confirmed the molecular-level dispersion of dr… Show more

“…These changes could be due to the increased water loss in beads added with gelatin during the drying process, as well as the fact that gelatin is a highly aqueous soluble polymer that dissolves rapidly in an aqueous environment. [20] In addition, SEM micrographs revealed the structure of microparticles. The drying process altered the shape of the beads, and the shape was dependent on the concentration of additives.…”

“…The samples collected after spray-drying presented a mixture of wrinkled (mostly) and a few smooth spherical particles, as depicted in figure 3, following a unimodal distribution ( figure 4), in accordance with the lower values (table 2). Irregular particle morphology was already reported for gelatin microspheres [19], and is usually…”

“…Ciprofloxacin (CPx)-loaded gelatin microparticles were produced by single-step spraydrying following the best experimental conditions determined in section 3.1. The gel crosslinking was performed in the vapor phase to improve particle stability, while diminishing possible cytotoxic effects associated with the crosslinking agent (GA) [19,40]. Both uncross and crosslinked particles obtained by spray-drying presented a wrinkled surface morphology (figure 5 a -d) like the ones observed in the orthogonal experiments ( figure 3).…”

“…Because the form is isotropic, microspheres can be easily prepared under a fluid or gas atmosphere. Several methods have been developed to prepare the microspheres, which include water‐in‐oil emulsion, water‐in‐oil‐in‐water emulsion, electrospinning, microsphere gelation, spray drying, suspension polymerization, ultrasonication and phase separation . Among others, the water‐in‐oil emulsion is generally used to prepare microspheres for the culture of cells, where a hydrophilic solution is stirred in a continuous hydrophobic phase to from spherical droplets which then separated from the hydrophobic phase.…”
