Appilcation of Chitin and Chitosan to Pharmaceutical Preparations. I. : Film Preparation and in Vitro Evaluation

概要

論文の詳細を見る
Three types of chitosan films containing prednisolone (PD) were prepared and drug release fromt the films was studied in vitro. The films prepared include 1) a monolayer type (ML) film prepared by evaporating the solvent from a chitosan/drug mixture, 2) a double layer type (DL) film prepared by sticking together two ML films, one of which contained a drug, and 3) N-Ac film which is a DL film with one of the ML films N-acetylated and stuck onto the other ML film, which contained a drug. Release of PD from ML films was retarded as the films became thicker. Release of the drug from N-Ac films was more depresed than from the corresponding DL film and was found to follow zero-order kinetics. Pores were observed in chitosan films by scanning electron microscopy. These result suggested that chitosan and N-acetyl chitosan (chitin) films could be applicable for controlled-release preparations of drugs.
