Abstract
Aspirin microcapsules were prepared by the solvent evaporation method. Ethylcellulose was used as the coating material at 18:2, 17:3 and 16:4 core : coat ratios. The prepared microcapsules were separated into sieve fractions. Each fraction was evaluated for drug content and dissolution characteristics. Scaling-up was developed to evaluate the adopted microencapsulation method for large scale production.
The adopted method was simple, efficient and reproducible. A prolonged release pattern of the drug was obtained by increasing the coat/core ratio. Larger microcapsules released aspirin at a slower rate than did smaller microcapsules. Scaling-up did not significantly affect the release characteristics of drug from the prepared microcapsules. Histological studies on the Guinea pig gastric mucosa after the oral administration of encapsulated aspirin revealed a lower incidence of this product compared to unencapsulated drug.
