Drug delivery to the peritoneum is hampered by rapid clearance, and could be improved by application of controlled release technology. We investigated the suitability for peritoneal use of micro- and nanoparticles of poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA), a biodegradable polymer with generally excellent biocompatibility commonly used for controlled drug release. We injected 90 kDa PLGA microparticles, 5-250 mu m in diameter, into the murine peritoneum, in dosages of 10-100 mg (n = 3-5 per group). We found a high incidence of polymeric residue and adhesions 2 weeks after injection (e.g., 50 mg of 5-mu m microparticles caused adhesions in 83% of animals). Histology revealed chronic inflammation, with foreign body giant cells prominent with particles > 5 mu m in diameter. Five micrometer microspheres made from 54, 57, and 10 kDa PLGA (gamma irradiated) caused fewer adhesions (1.6.7%) with a similar incidence of residue. Nanoparticles (265 nm) of 90 kDa PLGA also Caused much fewer adhesions (6.3% of animals), possibly because they were cleared from the peritoneum within 2 days, and sequestered in the spleen and liver, where foamy macrophages were noted. The effect of sterilization technique on the incidence of adhesion formation is also studied. (c) 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
