Preparation and Evaluation of Ofloxacin Microspheres Using Natural Gelatin Polymer
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present study, gelatin microspheres containing ofloxacin were prepared by coacervation phase separation method and characterized by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The microspheres were analyzed for drug entrapment, bulk density, angle of repose, particle size and In-vitro release pattern. The effect of process variables on microsphere size was studied and based on these preliminary studies, different batches of microspheres were prepared by altering the drug: polymer ratio and cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. The size of microspheres was in range of 4245μm. They were spherical in shape as evidenced by photomicrographs and scanning electron microscopy. The percent drug entrapment was in the range of 78-90 % and they could sustain drug release over a period of 8 hrs.

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...

A topical o/w cream containing tretinoin microspheres was prepared. Gelatin microspheres of tretinoin were prepared using coacervation method. These microspheres contained about 50% w/w tretinoin. The particle size range of microspheres was between 90-150 m m. In vitro drug release from microspheres and a cream formulation was studied. It was shown that drug release from microspheres followed H...
