摘要
This work presents the changes in the characteristics of Dr-PLA microspheres of different polymer molecular weights and cll-methadone contents, prepared by the solvent evaporation method, after a 3-year storage at room temperature (20 +/- 2 degrees C) under desiccated conditions. Size, shape and loading did not change, while degradation index (DI) increased during storage independently of the methadone content. The most stable polymers were those of weight average molecular weight 63000 and 33000. The mechanism involved in the polymer degradation depending on the polymer molecular weight. The methadone release was evaluated through dissolution efficiency (DE). The DE variation with time was kept in the +/- 20% range. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
