    Area of Science:

    • Pharmaceutical Technology
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Controlled-release drug delivery systems are crucial for therapeutic efficacy.
    • Microencapsulation offers a method to control drug release kinetics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop controlled-release anti-inflammatory drug microcapsules using a solvent evaporation method.
    • To investigate the impact of preparation variables on microcapsule properties and drug release.

    Main Methods:

    • Solvent evaporation technique utilizing ethylcellulose as the polymer and methylene chloride as the solvent.
    • Controlled solvent evaporation using an air stream.
    • Analysis of microcapsule dimensions, permeability, and drug release profiles.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully produced microencapsulated anti-inflammatory drugs with controlled release.
    • Determined drug diffusion constants of 7.0 x 10⁻¹⁰ cm²/s and 1.2 x 10⁻¹⁰ cm²/s for low and high release rates.
    • Observed variations in capsule dimensions and permeability based on preparation adjustments.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed microcapsules exhibit nonhomogeneous polymeric walls with increased outer surface porosity.
    • This structural characteristic influences the observed drug release behavior.
    • The proposed model may be applicable to microcapsules produced via solvent evaporation.
