Fatty acids for controlled release applications: A comparison between prilling and solid lipid extrusion as manufacturing techniques - Abstract

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the solid state characteristics, drug release and stability of fatty acid-based formulations after processing via prilling and solid lipid extrusion. Myristic acid (MA), stearic acid (SA) and behenic acid (BA) were used as matrix formers combined with metoprolol tartrate (MPT) as model drug.
