Microsponge as an Emerging Technique in Novel Drug Delivery System

An Overview on Microsponge Delivery System

Microsponge were prepared by liquid-liquid suspension polymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate. Microsponges were dispersed in gel prepared by using carbopol 940 and evaluated for drug release using Franz diffusion cell. Free flowing powder with size distribution 30 to 107 μm was obtained. The average drug release from the gels containing microspongic fluconazole was 67.81% in 12 h. dr...

Formulation and Evaluation of Microsponge Drug Delivery System Using Indomethacin

In the present study controlled release formulation of Indomethacin microsponges were prepared by using Eudragit RS 100, pH independent release retardant polymer and PVA, stabilizer or emulsifier. Microsponges were prepared by Quasi emulsion solvent diffusion method by changing drug polymer ratio (3:1, 4:1, 5:1) and process was optimized. Microsponges were evaluated by micromeritic properties, ...

Virosomes as Novel drug delivery System: An Overview

Virosomes are reconstituted viral envelopes that can fill in as vaccines and as vehicles for cell conveyance of different macromolecules. The prospect of drug delivery and targeting systems utilizing virosomes is an intriguing innovative work field. Since virosomes are biocompatible, biodegradable, non-poisonous and nonautoimmunogenuic; endeavors have been made to use them as antibodies or adju...
