关节腔注射用甲氨蝶呤缓释微球的制备及体内外释药研究
Preparation and the in vitro and in vivo release of PLGA microspheres containing methotrexate for intra-articular injection
摘要
目的:制备一种可用于关节腔注射的甲氨蝶呤(methotrexate,MTX)聚乳酸-聚羟基乙酸共聚物(PL-GA)缓释微球,并研究其体内外释药规律。方法:应用O/W溶剂挥发法制备MTX-PLGA微球,对其表面形态、粒径分布进行表征并测定其包封率、载药量和体内外释药谱;采用HPLC法分析药物含量;体内释放采用大鼠皮下气囊模型。结果:微球表面光滑圆整,平均粒径为(38.47±1.32)μm,包封率和载药量分别为(62.71±0.84)%和(3.23±0.13)%。体外释放t50为20 d,体外释放速率常数Kr=0.038μg.mL-1.d-1。体内试验显示,在气囊中的释放速率常数KR=0.12μg.mL-1.d-1。结论:采用本法制备的MTX-PLGA微球具有明显的缓释作用,有望成为一种有效的治疗类风湿关节炎的制剂。
