ABSTRACT

The new investigation in this present work is to develop microsponges constructed novel drug delivery system for sustained action of Flurbiprofen. Various techniques are involved, among them, Quai-emulsion solvent diffusion method was engaged using Ethyl cellulose with different drug: polymer ratio for development of microsponges, for optimization purposes, several factors are considered in investigation. Several evaluation studies for the formed microsponges were carried out FT-IR, SEM, particle size analysis, morphology, encapsulation efficiency and in vitro drug release studies were carried out. Finally, it was concluded that there is no drug polymer interaction as per FT-IR. Encapsulation efficiency, particle size and drug content showed higher impact on alteration of drug polymer ratio. SEM studies showed that morphological microsponges are spherical and porous in nature and with mean particle size of 30.11 ± 0.14 μm. The capsule loaded with microsponges, were followed by In vitro drug release studies and found to release the drug for sustained manner that is 98.12 ±0.63 % of release upto 12 hrs.
