Abstract
Because of their high specificity, high affinity, and targeting, antibody drugs have been widely used in the treatment of many diseases and have become the most favored new drugs for research in the world. However, some antibody drugs (such as small-molecule antibody fragments) have a short half-life and need to be administered frequently, and are often associated with injection-site reactions and local toxicities during use. Increasing attention has been paid to the development of antibody drugs that are long-acting and have fewer side effects. This paper reviews existing strategies to achieve long-acting antibody drugs, including modification of the drug structure, the application of drug delivery systems, and changing their administration route. Among these, microspheres have been studied extensively regarding their excellent tolerance at the injection site, controllable loading and release of drugs, and good material safety. Subcutaneous injection is favored by most patients because it can be quickly self-administered. Subcutaneous injection of microspheres is expected to become the focus of developing long-lasting antibody drug strategies in the near future.

Abstract
Different types of ibuprofen-loaded, poly (D,L lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-based implants were prepared by 3D printing (Droplet Deposition Modeling). The theoretical filling density of the mesh-shaped implants was varied from 10 to 100%. Drug release was measured in agarose gels and in well agitated phosphate buffer pH 7.4. The key properties of the implants (and dynamic changes thereof upon exposure to the release media) were monitored using gravimetric measurements, optical microscopy, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Gel Permeation Chromatography, and Scanning Electron Microscopy. Interestingly, drug release was similar for implants with 10 and 30% filling density, irrespective of the experimental set-up. In contrast, implants with 100% filling density showed slower release kinetics, and the shape of the release curve was altered in agarose gels. These observations could be explained by the existence (or absence) of a continuous aqueous phase between the polymeric filaments and the "orchestrating role" of substantial system swelling for the control of drug release. At lower filling densities, it is sufficient for the drug to be released from a single filament. In contrast, at high filling densities, the ensemble of filaments acts as a much larger (more or less homogeneous) polymeric matrix, and the average diffusion pathway to be overcome by the drug is much longer. Agarose gel (mimicking living tissue) hinders substantial PLGA swelling and delays the onset of the final rapid drug release phase. This improved mechanistic understanding of the control of drug release from PLGA-based 3D printed implants can help to facilitate the optimization of this type of advanced drug delivery systems.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to relate the composition of the W/O emulsion used as a starting fluid in the spray-drying process to the quality of the dry polymer particles obtained in terms of physical-chemical properties, compatibility and drug release performance. Four W/O emulsions containing vancomycin hydrochloride (VAN), an encapsulating PLGA polymer and Poloxamer® 407, chitosan and/or sorbitan monooleate as stabilisers were spray-dried using an ultrasonic atomising nozzle. The microparticles obtained were micron-sized, with a volume mean diameter between 43.2 ± 0.3 and 64.0 ± 12.6 µm, and spherical with a mostly smooth, non-porous surface and with high drug loading (between 14.5 ± 0.6 and 17.1 ± 1.9% w/w). All formulations showed a prolonged and biphasic VAN release profile, with diffusion being the primary release mechanism. Microparticles prepared from the emulsions with Poloxamer® 407 and sorbitan monooleate released VAN rapidly and completely within one day. The release of VAN from microparticles prepared from the emulsion without additives or with chitosan in the inner aqueous phase was significantly decreased; after four days, a cumulative release of 65% and 61%, respectively, was achieved. Microparticles with encapsulated chitosan had the largest mean particle diameter and the slowest release of VAN.

Abstract
We developed a method for the preparation of PLGA particles exhibiting long-term sustained-release of entrapped drugs. The fine droplet drying (FDD) technology using a new injection system based on ink-jet injection technology was adapted as the preparation method. PLGA microspheres containing TRITC-dextran, acetaminophen, and albumin as model drugs were prepared by the FDD technology. The resultant microspheres were uniform in size, with average particle sizes ranging from 16.3 to 33.0 μm and SPAN factors ranging from 0.49 to 0.77. The encapsulation efficiency of drugs showed high values ranging from 75 to 99 wt% of the total amount of water-soluble drug contained in the particles. In an investigation of the optimal operation conditions of the FDD technology, the dew point temperature of the dryer air stream was found to be an important factor for controlling the initial burst of the prepared particles. The TRITC-dextran-containing PLGA microspheres were confirmed to exhibit long-term sustained release for about 90 days, and the mechanism was found to be PLGA degradation rate-limiting. Based on these results, we concluded that long-term sustained-released PLGA particles can be prepared by using FDD technology under a suitable drying condition for controlling the initial burst.

Abstract
Microspheres play an important role in controlling drug delivery and release rate accurately. To realize the sustainable release of insoluble small-molecule drugs, a new three-phase flow-focusing microfluidic device was developed to produce the drug-loaded sustained-release microspheres which were prepared with bicalutamide (BCS class-II) as the model drug and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) as the carrier material. Under optimized prescription conditions, the microspheres showed a smooth surface and uniform size of 51.33 μm with a CV value of 4.43%. Sustained-release microspheres had a releasing duration of around 40 days in vitro without any initial burst release. The drug release mechanism of the microspheres was drug diffusion and polymer erosion. Meanwhile, the drug release of microspheres in vivo could be up to 30 days. Briefly, the microfluidic device in this study provides a new solution for the preparation of sustained-release microspheres for insoluble small-molecule drugs. PLGA sustained-release microspheres developed by the microfluidic device have good application prospects in precise delivery and sustainable release of insoluble small-molecule drugs.

How agarose gels surrounding PLGA implants limit swelling and slow down drug release. J Control Release 2022; 343:255-266.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to better understand to which extent and in which way the presence of an agarose gel (mimicking living tissue) around a PLGA [poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)] implant affects the resulting drug release kinetics. Ibuprofen-loaded implants were prepared by hot melt extrusion. Drug release was measured upon exposure to phosphate buffer pH 7.4 in Eppendorf tubes, as well as upon inclusion into an agarose gel which was exposed to phosphate buffer pH 7.4 in an Eppendorf tube or in a transwell plate. Dynamic changes in the implants' dry & wet mass and dimensions were monitored gravimetrically and by optical macroscopy. Implant erosion and polymer degradation were observed by SEM and GPC. Different pH indicators were used to measure pH changes in the bulk fluids, gels and within the implants during drug release. Ibuprofen release was bi-phasic in all cases: A zero order release phase (~20% of the dose) was followed by a more rapid, final drug release phase. Interestingly, the presence of the hydrogel delayed the onset of the 2nd release phase. This could be attributed to the sterical hindrance of implant swelling: After a certain lag time, the degrading PLGA matrix becomes sufficiently hydrophilic and mechanically instable to allow for the penetration of substantial amounts of water into the system. This fundamentally changes the conditions for drug release: The latter becomes much more mobile and is more rapidly released. A gel surrounding the implant mechanically hinders system swelling and, thus, slows down drug release. These observations also strengthen the hypothesis of the "orchestrating" role of PLGA swelling for the control of drug release and can help developing more realistic in vitro release set-ups.

Abstract
Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted considerable interest in the medical community as a sustained-release drug delivery system for localized treatment. However, it is currently a grand challenge to simultaneously achieve low-dose drugs, stable and prolonged drug release, and long-term retention circumventing uptake by macrophages. Here, we construct a solvent-exchange in-situ depot system by incorporating progesterone (PRG) loaded PLGA NPs into a sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB) and PLGA matrix for the long term treatment of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). The results showed that different solvent and PLGA contents could affect the drug release rate of PRG NPs-SAIB-PLGA in-situ depot system (PSPIDS). When DMSO was used as solvent with the addition of 8% PLGA to the depot, PSPIDS could achieve a constant drug release with no burst for 2 weeks in vitro. After a single intramuscular injection, such PSPIDS showed higher drug concentration and AUC (6773.0 ± 348.8 μg/L·h) over the entire 7-day testing period compared with the commercial multiple-day-dosing intramuscular PRG-oil solution (1914.5 ± 180.7 μg/L·h) in vivo. Importantly, PSPIDS could be administered at a dose of 3.65 mg/kg, which was one fourth of dose required for PRG-oil solution. The results demonstrate that PRG NPs could successfully achieve both reduced administered dosage and burst release, and therefore that PSPIDS is a promising long-acting composite system for hydrophobic drugs.

Abstract
FVIII and immunoglobulins (Igs) are the most prominent plasma proteins, which play a vital role in plasma hemostasis. These proteins have been implemented frequently in protein therapy. Therefore, their maintenance, durability, and stability are highly essential. Herein, various approaches to improve protein functions have been investigated, such as using recombinant protein replacement. In comparison, advances in nanotechnology have provided adequate context to boost biomaterial utilization. In this regard, the applications of various nanoparticles such as polymeric nanomaterials (PEG and PLGA), metal nanoparticles, dendrimers, and lipid based nanomaterials (liposomes and lipid nanoparticles) in stability and the functional improvement of antibodies and coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) have been reviewed from 2010 to 2020. Reviewing related articles has shown that not only can nanomaterials adequately protect the structure of proteins, but have also improved proteins' functions in some cases. For example, the high rate of FVIII instability has been successfully enhanced by bio-PEGylation. Also, utilizing PEGylated liposomes, using the PEG-lip technique for coating nanostructures, leads to FIIIV half-life prolongation. Hence, PEGylation had most impact on the stability of FVIII. Likewise, PEG-coated liposome nano-carriers also presented such a good effect on stability improvements for FVIII due to their ability to tune the immune system by reducing FVIII immunogenicity. Similarly, Ig PEGylation and conjugation to magnetic nanoparticles resulted in increased half-life and better purification of Igs, respectively, without any loss in structural or functional features. Consequently, metal-organic frameworks and recent hybrid systems have been introduced as promising nanomaterials in biomedical applications. As far as we know, this is the first study in this field, which considers the applications of nanoparticles for improving the storage and stability of antibodies and coagulation FVIII.

Abstract
Spray drying is a versatile technology that has been applied widely in the chemical, food, and, most recently, pharmaceutical industries. This review focuses on engineering advances and the most significant applications of spray drying for pharmaceuticals. An in-depth view of the process and its use is provided for amorphous solid dispersions, a major, growing drug-delivery approach. Enhanced understanding of the relationship of spray-drying process parameters to final product quality attributes has made robust product development possible to address a wide range of pharmaceutical problem statements. Formulation and process optimization have leveraged the knowledge gained as the technology has matured, enabling improved process development from early feasibility screening through commercial applications. Spray drying's use for approved small-molecule oral products is highlighted, as are emerging applications specific to delivery of biologics and non-oral delivery of dry powders. Based on the changing landscape of the industry, significant future opportunities exist for pharmaceutical spray drying.

Abstract
The main objective of this work was to explore the feasibility to print monoclonal antibody (mAb)-loaded implantable systems using fused-deposition modelling (FDM) to build complex dosage form designs. Indeed, to our knowledge, this work is the first investigation of mAb-loaded devices using FDM. To make this possible, different steps were developed and optimized. A mAb solution was stabilized using trehalose (TRE), sucrose (SUC), hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), sorbitol or inulin (INU) in order to be spray dried (SD). Printable filaments were then made of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and mAb powder (15% w/w) using hot melt extrusion (HME). The FDM process was optimized to print these filaments without altering the mAb stability. TRE was selected and associated to L-leucine (LEU) to increase the mAb stability. The stability was then evaluated considering high and low molecular weight species levels. The mAb-based devices were well-stabilized with the selected excipients during both the HME and the FDM processes. The 3D-printed devices showed sustained-release profiles with a low burst effect. The mAb-binding capacity was preserved up to 70% following the whole fabrication process. These promising results demonstrate that FDM could be used to produce mAb-loaded devices with good stability, affinity and sustained-release profiles of the mAb.

The aim of this study was to better understand the root causes for the (up to) 3 drug release phases observed with poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles containing diprophylline particles: The 1st release phase ("burst release"), 2nd release phase (with an "about constant release rate") and 3rd release phase (which is again rapid and leads to complete drug exhaust). The behavior of single microparticles was monitored upon exposure to phosphate buffer pH 7.4, in particular with respect to their drug release and swelling behaviors. Diprophylline-loaded PLGA microparticles were prepared with a solid-in-oil-in-water solvent extraction/evaporation method. Tiny drug crystals were rather homogeneously distributed throughout the polymer matrix after manufacturing. Batches with "small" (63 µm), "medium-sized" (113 µm) and "large" (296 µm) microparticles with a practical drug loading of 5-7% were prepared. Importantly, each microparticle releases the drug "in its own way", depending on the exact distribution of the tiny drug crystals within the system. During the burst release, drug crystals with direct surface access rapidly dissolve. During the 2nd release phase tiny drug crystals (often) located in surface near regions which undergo swelling, are likely released. During the 3rd release phase, the entire microparticle undergoes substantial swelling. This results in high quantities of water present throughout the system, which becomes "gel-like". Consequently, the drug crystals dissolve, and the dissolved drug molecules rather rapidly diffuse through the highly swollen polymer gel.
