Effect of Preparation Conditions on Morphology, Drug Content and Release Profiles of Poly(hydroxybutyrate) Microparticles Containing Piroxicam

چکیده
No presente estudo foram preparadas micropartículas de poli(hidroxibutirato) contendo piroxicam pela técnica de emulsão-evaporação do solvente. A influência de alguns parâmetros do processo sobre a eficiência de encapsulação do fármaco foi avaliada por meio de um planejamento fatorial do tipo 2. A eficiência de encapsulação do piroxicam variou de 5,5 a 89,8%. Micropartículas ocas e irregulares, contendo cristais de fármaco na superfície, foram obtidas quando se utilizou 5 mL de clorofórmio como fase interna da emulsão. Com o ensaio de liberação in vitro evidenciouse que, após 8 h, todo o fármaco havia sido liberado para o meio. Micropartículas esféricas com superfície externa rugosa e porosa foram obtidas quando se utilizou 20 mL de diclorometano como fase interna e adicionou-se isopropanol à fase externa da emulsão. Essas microesferas foram capazes de controlar a liberação do piroxicam durante 50 h. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que é possível obter micropartículas com características específicas pela otimização das condições empregadas no processo de encapsulação.
