Sree Giri Prasad* Teegala Krishna Reddy College of Pharmacy, Meerpet, Medbowli, Hyderabad, A.P, Email: [email protected] [email protected] Mobile No: 09441893479 Address for correspondence Oral modified-release multiple-unit dosage forms have always been more effective therapeutic alternative to conventional or immediate release single-unit dosage forms. With regards to the final dosage form, the multiparticulates are usually formulated into microspheres and filling them into hard gelatin capsules. Microspheres received much attention not only for prolonged release, but also for targeting of drugs. In future microspheres will find the central place in novel drug delivery, particularly in diseased cell sorting, diagnostics, genetic materials, targeted and effective drug delivery. The current aim of this review is to study various aspects of the microparticulates drug delivery system including method of formulation, evaluation & characterization. Key-Words: Microspheres, Controlled release, Novel Drug Delivery, Therapeutic Efficacy. ABSTRACT B. Sree Giri Prasad et al. / JGTPS/ 5(3)-(2014) 1961–1972

Preparation of Ethylcellulose Coated Gelatin Microspheres as a Multiparticulate Colonic Delivery System for 5-Aminosalicilic Acid
In the long-term management of ulcerative colitis patients, repeat dosing maybe required. Since 5-ASA is largely absorbed from the upper intestine, selective delivery of drugs into the colon may be regarded as a better method of drug delivery with fewer side effects and a higher efficacy. The aim of this study was to prepare and evaluate a double coated multiparticulate system for 5-ASA deliver...
