Copolymerized PEGlyated Acrylate Hydrogels for Delivery of Dicolofenac Sodium

Hydrogels are biocompatible drug delivery systems by which the physical properties can be controlled by the cross-linking density. Hydrogels were prepared by copolymerization of acrylic acid monomers in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG) to form polyethylene diacrylate (PEDGA). Various molecular weights of PEGs were used for the synthesis of PEGDA to study the effect of molecular weight of PEG on the properties of hydrogels. These hydrogels were further characterized for free water, swelling..

Hydrogels are biocompatible drug delivery systems by which the physical properties can be controlled by the cross-linking density. Hydrogels were prepared by copolymerization of acrylic acid monomers in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG) to form polyethylene diacrylate (PEDGA). Various molecular weights of PEGs were used for the synthesis of PEGDA to study the effect of molecular weight of PEG on the properties of hydrogels. These hydrogels were further characterized for free water, swelling behavior, water diffusion, drug loading, and drug release profile. By analyzing the swelling behavior and release pattern of the hydrogels, the authors show that these systems can be suitably used for controlled delivery of drugs.

The Preparation and Evaluation of Albendazole Microspheres for Colonic Delivery

Dec 2, 2004
By: Govind Prasad Agrawal

Microspheres of Eudragit RL were developed for colonic delivery of albendazole. The effects of polymer concentration, stirring rate, and concentration of emulsifier on particle size and drug loading were studied. A comparative in vitro drug release study of the optimized formulation was carried out.

Spherical Crystallization of Mefenamic Acid
