Theoretical Prediction Of Induction Period From Transient Pore Evolvement In Polyester-Based Microparticles, A. Zhao, Stephen Hunter, V. Rodgers
Stephen K. Hunter
A model was developed and compared to experimental results for prediction of the induction period during drug delivery from various compositions of biodegradable copolymer PLGA microparticles. The uniqueness of this model is that it considers transient pore evolvement and uses the kinetic parameters of polymer degradation, which are independent of experimental measurements of microparticle erosion, in its analysis. Delivery data from PLGA microparticles (50:50, 75:25, and 85:15) releasing ovalbumin (OVA, 46 kDa) and bovine serum albumin (BSA, 66 kDa) were determined and used as the model systems. Experimental measurements were carried out from 85 to 150 days depending on the …
