Current global vaccination programs are challenged by costs associated with vaccine cold chain storage and administration. A solid, thermally stable oral dosage form for vaccines would alleviate these costs but is difficult to produce due to general vaccine instability and the complication of bypassing the gastric barrier. We developed a novel consecutive spray drying method that is suitable for use with biologics and employs Eudragit L100 polymer as the enteric coating. More specifically, in...

Abstract The aim of this study was to develop and characterize sustained release vildagliptin (VLG) loaded Eudragit® RS-100 microspheres. The microspheres were prepared by single emulsion [oil-in-oil (O/O)] solvent evaporation method. Plackett–Burman design (PBD) was employed by using Design-Expert®Software to screen and understand impact of five independent formulation factors such as Eudragit® RS-100 (A), span-80 (B), acetone (C), methanol (D), stirring speed (E) affecting on...

Abstract In this work, a bottom-up approach based on the study of polyelectrolyte interactions was performed in order to evaluate the effect of Prosopis alba exudate gum as novel excipient for fish oil encapsulation in composed calcium-alginate-chitosan beads. Emulsion and beads properties such as oil distribution, encapsulation efficiency, yield, microstructure and thermo-oxidative protection were evaluated. Alginate and gum exert a synergistic effect on emulsion stability properties, which...

Polysaccharide-protein complex coacervates are amongst the leading pair of biopolymer systems that has been used over the past decades for encapsulation of numerous active ingredients. Complex coacervation of polysaccharides and proteins have received increasing research interest for the practical application in encapsulation industry since the pioneering work of complex coacervation by Bungenburg de Jong and co-workers on the system of gelatin-acacia, a protein- polysaccharide system. Because...
