Biosynthesized Poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) As Biocompatible Microcapsules with Extended Release for Busulfan and Montelukast
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL MACROMOLECULES(2022)
摘要
An extended release dosage form based on encapsulating the challenging drug busulfan within microspheres of the biodegradable, biocompatible and biosynthesized poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) polyester was achieved. The used (PHBV) polymer was biosynthesized by the halophilic archaeon Haloferax mediterranei from date waste biomass as feed-stock. PHBV microspheres of 1.2-2.1 mu m diameter were successfully fabricated and loaded with busulfan with an encapsulation efficiency of 29.2 +/- 0.2%. In addition, PHBV microspheres of 1.5-3.5 mu m diameter and loaded with montelukast sodium (MK) drug were also fabricated with an encapsulation efficiency of 16.0 +/- 0.4%. The double-emulsion solvent evaporation method was used to fabricate the drug-loaded microspheres. The drug-loaded microspheres have been characterized by XRD, FTIR and SEM, and confirmed to be successfully fabricated. The drugs in vitro release profiles have shown extended release for up to 3 days in case of busulfan and 8 h in case of montelukast sodium. The in vitro release profiles for busulfan and montelukast suggest that these drug-loaded microcapsules can be efficiently used as new dosage forms to solve the current issues of busulfan administration protocols, and to introduce a new dosage form for montelukast with extended release performance.
