Abstract EN

The aim of the current study was to formulate and optimize the formulation on the basis of in vitro performance of microsphere.

A 32 full factorial design was employed to study the effect of independent variables, polymer-to-drug ratio (X1) and stirring speed (X2), on dependent variables, encapsulation efficiency, particle size, and time to 80% drug release.

The best batch exhibited a high entrapment efficiency of 70% and mean particle size 290 μm.

The drug release was also sustained for more than 12 hours.

The study helped in finding the optimum formulation with excellent sustained drug release.
