Abstract:
Objective To study the preparation and the in vitro and in vivo release profile of GH-Chitosan-Alginate microcapsules.Methods GH-Chitosan-Alginate microcapsules were prepared through impulsive electrostatic technique.The interrelated factors influencing the diameter and sphericity were studied through orthogonal experiments,and finally the statistic analysis made sure the optimum conditions to prepare microspheres.The morphology and size of the microcapsules were observed,and the content,encapsulation efficiency and recovery efficiency of the microcapsules were measured.Moreover,their in vitro and in vivo release experiments were carried out.Results The results showed that the diameter of needle was the most significant factor to the diameter of microspheres.The optimum conditions for the least diameter of microspheres were 450?m diameter of needle,2cm from needle tips to the gelation surfaee,1.5% alginate concentration,8ml/h speed of flowing-liquid and metal containers.The microcapsules had good sphericity morphology and distribution.The size of the microcapsules was in the range of 10-25?m with an average size of 47.93?m.The encapsulation efficiency and GH-load of the microcapsules were 94% and 11.24% respectively.The release kinetics of microcapsules was studied in false gastric and intestines juice.In false gastric juice,the GH of microcapsules was not released;in false intestines juice,it was released well,and TAM was completely released after about 12h.in vivo release profile made sure that the serum GH level of GH microcapsule group was at the highest value(98.59ng/ml) at 8h.The release profile was fitted well in both in vitro and in vivo conditions.Conclusion GH-Chitosan-Alginate Microcapsules have good morphology and sustained release effect.
