摘要:
A method for preparing biodegradable, biocompatible microparticles. A first phase is prepared that includes a biodegradable, biocompatible polymer, an active agent, and a solvent. An immiscible second phase is prepared. The first and second phases are combined to form an emulsion in which the first phase is discontinuous and the second phase is continuous. The two phases are immersed in a quench liquid that includes a quench medium and a quantity of the solvent. The quantity of the solvent is selected to control a rate of extraction of the solvent from the first phase. The first phase is isolated in the form of microparticles. Also disclosed is a microencapsulated active agent prepared by the method for preparing biodegradable, biocompatible microparticles.

摘要:
A method for preparing biodegradable, biocompatible microparticles. A first phase is prepared that includes a biodegradable, biocompatible polymeric encapsulating binder, and an active agent having limited water solubility dissolved or dispersed in a solvent. An aqueous second phase is prepared. The first and second phases are combined to form an emulsion in which the first phase is discontinuous and the second phase is continuous. The two phases are separated. The discontinuous first phase is washed with water, or an aqueous solution of water and a solvent for residual solvent in the first phase, to reduce the level of residual solvent in the microparticles to less than about 2% by weight of the microparticles. Also disclosed are a microencapsulated drug prepared by the method for preparing biodegradable, biocompatible microparticles, and a pharmaceutical composition that includes biodegradable and biocompatible microparticles in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

摘要:
Microcapsules laden with an active agent are prepared by a method comprising: (a) dissolving or dispersing an active agent in a solvent and dissolving a wall forming material in said solvent; (b) dispersing said solvent containing said active agent and wall forming material in a continuous-phase processing medium; (c) evaporating a portion of said solvent from said dispersion of step (b), thereby forming microcapsules containing said active agent in the suspension; and (d) extracting the remainder of the solvent from said microcapsules.
