Objective:To prepare VCR-loaded PLGA microcapsules and study its release characteristics in vitro.Methods:A water-in-oil-in-water double-emulsion/solvent evaporation method was used to prepare VCR-loaded PLGA microcapsules.Some factors affecting entrapment rate of microcapsules
such as pH value of internal and external aqueous phase
PLGA concentration
Span 80 content
NaCl concentration and evaporating way of CH2Cl2
were investigated.In addition
its shape
size distribution and in vitro release properties were studied.Results:Acquired VCR-loaded PLGA microcapsules were spherical and its surface was smooth
the average size of microcapsules were 643.1 nm
and the average entrapment rate was about 39.5%.Conclusion:VCR-loaded PLGA microcapsules were successfully produced according to double-emulsion/solvent evaporation method
and prepared PLGA microcapsules are provided with the role of sustained-release.
