摘要: Long-term injectable microspheres have some inherent disadvantages such as migration of
micro-spheres from the original site and the burst effect. In order to avoid these
problems, microsphere-loaded thermosen-sitive hydrogel system was designed and expected to
achieve a zero-order release of biomolecular drugs in relative high initial drug loadings.
Lysozyme, an antibacterial protein usually used to reduce prosthetic valve endocarditis,
was selected as the model drug. Poly (DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres,
prepared by solvent evapo-ration method, were employed to encapsulate lysozyme and
dispersed into thermosensitive pre-gel solution con-taining methylcellulose (MC),
polyethylene glycol (PEG), sodium citrate (SC), and sodium alginate (SA). The mix-ture
could act as a drug reservoir by performing sol-gel transition rapidly if the temperature
was raised from room temperature to 37℃. The in vitro release results showed that the
burst effect was avoided due to strengthening of diffusion resistance in the gel. The
formulation was able to deliver lysozyme for over 30 days in a nearly zero-order release
profile with a rate of 32.8μg•d-1 which exhibits its remarkable potential for effective
application in long-term drug delivery.
