In the present study, novel block copolymers of poly(l-lactide)-block-poly(propylene adipate) (PLLA-b-PPAd) were synthesized in two ratios, 90/10 and 75/25 w/w and were further investigated as long-acting injectable (LAI) polymeric matrices in naltrexone base microparticle formulations. The synthesized polymers were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FTIR, XRD, TGA and DSC. NMR and FTIR spectroscopies confirmed the successful synthesis of copolymers while DSC showed that these are block copolymers with well-defined and separated blocks. Microparticles were prepared by single emulsification method and were further characterized. Nanoparticles in the range of 0.4–4.5 μm were prepared as indicated by SEM, with copolymers giving the lowest particle size. By XRD and DSC it was found that naltrexone was present in the amorphous state in its microparticles. Dissolution study showed a drug release extending over seven days, indicating that these novel PLLA-b-PPAd copolymers could be promising matrices for naltrexone’s LAI formulations. It was evidenced that drug release depended on the copolymer composition. Model release studies showed that drug release is controlled by diffusion.

The overall release kinetics are obtained by composing “smaller kinetics” at scales appropriate for each phase of the release mechanism.

Effect of various surfactants and their concentration on controlled release of captopril from polymeric matricesVarious methods are available to formulate water soluble drugs into sustained release dosage forms by retarding the dissolution rate. One of the methods used to control drug release and thereby prolong therapeutic activity is to use hydrophilic and lipophilic polymers. In this study, the effects of various polymers such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), ethylcellulose (EC) and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and surfactants (sodium lauryl sulphate, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and Arlacel 60) on the release rate of captopril were investigated. The results showed that an increase in the amount of HPMC K15M resulted in reduction of the release rate of captopril from these matrices. When HPMC was partly replaced by NaCMC (the ratio of HPMC/NaCMC was 5:1), the release rate of the drug significantly decreased. However, there was no significant difference in release rate of captopril from matrices produced with ratios of 5:1 and 2:1 of HPMC/NaCMC. The presence of lactose in matrices containing HPMC and NaCMC increased the release rate of captopril. It was interesting to note that although partial replacement of HPMC by EC reduced the release rate of the drug (ratio of HPMC/EC 2:1), the release rate was increased when the ratio of HPMC/EC was reduced to 1:1. The effects of various surfactants on the release rate of captopril from HPMC/EC (1:1) matrices were also investigated. The results showed that the surfactants did not significantly change the release rate of the drug. Release data were examined kinetically and the ideal kinetic models were estimated for the drug release. The kinetic analysis of drug release data from various formulations showed that incorporation of surfactants in HPMC/EC matrices did not produce a zero-order release pattern.
