Abstract
Non-spherical particles may offer advantages over conventional spherical systems for drug delivery applications. This work describes the fabrication of agent-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) spheroids via the emulsion solvent evaporation (ESE) method. The versatility of this technique for loading a variety of therapeutics is demonstrated via loading of paclitaxel, bovine serum albumin, and cadmium sulfide nanoparticles into PLGA spheroids. The encapsulation efficiency for spheroids fabricated via oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions is highest at low aqueous phase surfactant concentrations while the encapsulation efficiency for spheroids made via water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) is highest at high aqueous phase surfactant concentrations and basic aqueous phase pH values. Particle aspect ratio polydispersity can be minimized via the use of high aqueous phase PVA concentration and pH. The ESE technique is an attractive alternative to recently described methods for fabrication of non-spherical particles due to its simplicity in setup, high particle yield and adaptability to a variety of biodegradable polymers and therapeutics.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to prepare and evaluate ketoprofen-loaded albumin microspheres for intramuscular administration. Microspheres were prepared by emulsion cross-linking method using a 2(3) factorial design and the effect of different factors on entrapment efficiency was determined. Microspheres were evaluated for entrapment efficiency, percentage yield, particle size and release behaviour. Selected formulations were then tested by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Further they were analysed for residual solvents, syringeability and stability. Microspheres were then sterilized and bioavailability studies were carried out in New Zealand white rabbits. The physical characteristics of microspheres showed that they were suitable for IM administration. The sterilization technique adopted was adequate to maintain sterility. In vivo studies showed increase in C(max), AUC, t(1/2) and MRT (p < 0.05) administered in the form of microspheres. MRT of ketoprofen was almost 3.2-times in the form of microspheres. From these results it was concluded that the developed albumin microspheres of ketoprofen is a potential delivery system for once-a-day intramuscular administration.

Abstract
Despite the importance of microsphere size for controlled drug delivery, little work has been done to quantitatively predict the distribution of microspheres from manufacturing techniques. This work presents a quantitative study that describes the size distribution of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) microspheres. A fluid mechanics based correlation for the mean microsphere diameter is formulated based on the theory of emulsification in turbulent flow under non-coalescing conditions. The correlation was constructed and validated with experimentally obtained mean microsphere diameters prepared at different stirring speeds. In addition, a Rosin Rammler distribution function was found to give an accurate representation of the microsphere distribution. The spread of the microsphere size distribution was found to decrease with stirring speed. With the validation of the mathematical correlation, it is now possible to have a good estimate of the average microsphere size prior to microsphere preparation. This is directly relevant to the pharmaceutical industry where microspheres of specified mean diameter and size distribution are desirable.

Abstract
This work aims at investigating different types and levels of hydrophilic matrixing agents, including methylcellulose (MC), sodium alginate (Alg), and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), in an attempt to formulate controlled-release matrix tablets containing 25 mg baclofen. The tablets were prepared by wet granulation. Prior to compression, the prepared granules were evaluated for flow and compression characteristics. In vitro, newly formulated controlled-release tablets were compared with standard commercial tablets (Lioresal and baclofen). The excipients used in this study did not alter physicochemical properties of the drug, as tested by the thermal analysis using differential scanning calorimetry. The flow and compression characteristics of the prepared granules significantly improved by virtue of granulation process. Also, the prepared matrix tablets showed good mechanical properties (hardness and friability). MC- and Alg-based tablet formulations showed high release-retarding efficiency, and good reproducibility and stability of the drug release profiles when stored for 6 months in ambient room conditions, suggesting that MC and Alg are good candidates for preparing modified-release baclofen tablet formulations.

Abstract
Bovine serum albumin microspheres (BSA-MSs) containing Pingyangmycin hydrochloride (PYM) were prepared for the interventional embolization by an emulsification-crosslinking method. The average diameter of the MSs was 83.6 microm with 80% ranging from 35 to 200 microm. The MSs showed a rather high entrapment efficiency (EE%) of 87.6+/-5.7% and the drug loading efficacy (DL%) was 20.2+/-1.3%. The drug release behaviors were evaluated both in vitro and in vivo, using UV-spectroscopy and HPLC, respectively. The in vitro results showed a significantly delayed release of drug for 10 days. The central auricular artery of rabbit was chosen as an embolization sites to study the in vivo drug release and the pharmacokinetics of the MSs compared with PYM injections. Experiments performed by artery perfusion and embolization in rabbits central auricular artery revealed that the PYM loaded BSA-MSs (PYM-BSA-MSs) could obviously prolong in vivo drug release, extend the mean residence time (MRT) and had equal bioavailability compared with plain PYM injections. These results demonstrated that by embolization of the central auricular artery with PYM-BSA-MSs, the local drug concentration could maintain at a relative high level for a longer time, thus achieve the aim of tumor targeting therapy. PYM-BSA-MSs are excellent potential alternatives of interventional embolization materials for the treatment of maxillofacial region tumors.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to prepare and evaluate ketorolac tromethamine-loaded albumin microspheres using a factorial design. Albumin microspheres were prepared by emulsion cross-linking method. Selected formulations were characterized for their entrapment efficiency, particle size, surface morphology, and release behavior. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) for entrapment efficiency indicated that entrapment efficiency is best fitted to a response surface linear model. From the statistical analysis it was observed that as the drug:polymer (D:P) ratio and volume of glutaraldehyde increased, there was a significant increase in the encapsulation efficiency. Scanning electron microscopy of the microspheres revealed a spherical, nonporous and uniform appearance, with a smooth surface. Based on the entrapment efficiency and physical appearance, 9 formulations were selected for release study. The maximum particle size observed was below 40 microm. The release pattern was biphasic, characterized by an initial burst effect followed by a slow release. All selected microspheres, except those having less polymer proportion (D:P ratio is 1:1), exhibited a prolonged release for almost 24 hours. On comparing r (2) values for Higuchi and Peppas kinetic models, different batches of microspheres showed Fickian, non-Fickian, and diffusion kinetics. The release mechanism was regulated by D:P ratio and amount of cross-linking agent. From the experimental data obtained with respect to particle size and extent of drug release, it could be concluded that the prepared microspheres are useful for once-a-day intramuscular administration of ketorolac tromethamine.

Abstract
Insulin-loaded alginate microspheres prepared by emulsification/internal gelation were reinforced by blending with polyanionic additive polymers and/or chitosan-coating in order to increase the protection of insulin at simulated gastric pH and obtain a sustained release at simulated intestinal pH. Polyanionic additive polymers blended with alginate were cellulose acetate phtalate (CAP), Eudragit L100 (EL100), sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), polyphosphate (PP), dextran sulfate (DS) and cellulose sulfate (CS). Chitosan-coating was applied by using a one-stage procedure. The influence of additive polymers and chitosan-coating on the size distribution of microspheres, encapsulation efficiency and release profile of insulin in simulated gastrointestinal pH conditions was studied. The mean diameter of blended microspheres ranged from 65 to 106 microm and encapsulation efficiency of insulin varied from 14 to 100%, reaching a maximum value when CS and DS were incorporated in the alginate matrix. Insulin release, at pH 1.2, was almost prevented by the incorporation of PP, DS and CS. When uncoated microspheres were transferred to pH 6.8, a fast dissolution occurred, independently of the additive polymer blended with alginate, and insulin was completely released. Increasing the additive polymer concentration in the alginate matrix and/or chitosan-coating the blended alginate microspheres did not promote a sustained release of insulin from microspheres at pH 6.8.
