    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Polymer Chemistry
    • Drug Delivery Systems

    Context:

    • Biodegradable polymers offer promising platforms for controlled drug release.
    • Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a polymer of microbiological origin, presents unique properties for biomedical applications.
    • Developing efficient methods for microsphere preparation is crucial for effective drug encapsulation and delivery.

    Purpose:

    • To develop a robust procedure for preparing high-quality polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) microspheres using solvent evaporation.
    • To investigate the influence of process parameters, including emulsion type, dispersion, and temperature, on microsphere characteristics.
    • To evaluate the incorporation and in vitro release kinetics of the antitumor antibiotic daunorubicin (rubomycin) from PHB microspheres.

    Summary:

    • A novel procedure for preparing PHB microspheres via solvent evaporation was established, yielding consistent, high-quality particles.
    • Process parameters significantly affected microsphere yield, structure, and size, with temperature critically influencing daunorubicin incorporation.
    • Microspheres with varying daunorubicin loads (29% and 90%) were successfully prepared, exhibiting controlled in vitro release profiles with a plateau reached within 20-22 hours.

    Impact:

    • This work demonstrates the feasibility of using PHB microspheres for controlled delivery of potent chemotherapeutic agents like daunorubicin.
    • The developed method allows for tunable drug loading and predictable release kinetics, paving the way for optimized cancer therapy formulations.
    • Understanding the relationship between process parameters and drug release is vital for designing advanced drug delivery systems with enhanced therapeutic efficacy and reduced toxicity.
