Comparison of simple Eudragit microparticles loaded with prednisolone and Eudragit-coated chitosan-succinyl-prednisolone conjugate microparticles: Part I. Particle characteristics andin vitroevaluation as a colonic delivery system

Objective: Simple Eudragit microparticles loaded with prednisolone and chitosan-succinyl-prednisolone conjugate microparticles coated with Eudragit were prepared and characterized in vitro in order to obtain their basic features as a colonic delivery system.Materials and methods: Both types of microparticles were prepared by the emulsification-solvent evaporation modified somewhat from the previous one. Their particle size, shape and their drug...
