Abstract
AbstractCellulose acetate butyrate microcapsules containing propranolol were prepared by emulsion non-solvent addition method. The effects on drug release of different polyethylene glycols (PEG), various concentrations of PEG 4000, and particle size of the drug to be encapsulated were investigated. In vitro dissolution of microcapsules in simulated intestinal fluid and buffers at different pH was also studied. PEGs were found to increase drug release for this system. The pH dissolution profiles of the microcapsules indicated that dissolution was slightly pH dependent during the first 8 hours of dissolution.
