This study developed biopolymer-based microparticles for colon-targeted drug delivery using modified gelatin capsules. The microparticles showed high encapsulation efficiency and sustained drug release in the lower gastrointestinal tract, leading to improved and controlled colon delivery of aceclofenac.
The current study was to improve and control aceclofenac delivery prepared as biopolymer-based microparticles for effective colon-targeted drug delivery using modified gelatin capsules (MGCs) at different time intervals developed in two batches (C1 and C2). Microparticles were formulated with extracted mucuna gum using liquid paraffin oil (AC.LPO) and soybean oil (AC.SO) and evaluated in vitro for physicochemical performance and in vivo in rats. Encapsulation efficiency ranges from 54.48 +/- 0.21% to 82.83 +/- 0.22% for AC.LPO and 52.64 +/- 0.11% to 80.36 +/- 0.22% for AC.SO. SEM showed oblong and irregular shapes with porous and cracked surfaces. DSC showed low enthalpy and a very broad endothermic peak depicting high amorphous property. Delayed drug release was observed in the upper gastrointestinal tract with sustained release depicted in the lower gastrointestinal tract (GIT) using 3 and 9-h batch C1 of MGCs. AC.SO exhibited significantly (p < 0.05) higher antiinflammatory activity (86%) than AC.LPO (77%). Hence, aceclofenac colon delivery could be improved and controlled using biopolymer-based colon-targeted microparticles delivered with MGCs.
