Abstract

The main aim of this research is to compare amlodipine-loaded bovine serum albumin (BSA) and egg albumin microspheres, to obtain the optimal formulation of amlodipine microspheres for the treatment of hypertension. The ability to load various drugs, higher cell uptake and controlled kinetics for drug release are exceptional benefits offered by this system. In addition, the rate of chemical degradation in the solid matrix can also be modified, and offers delivery of chemically–sensitive lipophilic ingredients. On account of these benefits, this study was designed for the development of amlodipine microspheres for oral administration, and will be a beneficial approach to achieving increased bioavailability. Microspheres can be prepared by industrially-scalable techniques. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) microspheres containing amlodipine besylate were prepared by using emulsification cross-linking method. In this method, glutaraldehyde is used as a cross-linking agent. Egg albumin microspheres containing amlodipine besylate were prepared by using an emulsification heat denaturation method. The parameters studied in this research include particle size analysis, entrapment efficiency, in-vitro drug release studies, SEM analysis and Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectroscopy (FTIR) studies. The results indicate that the amlodipine-loaded BSA microspheres provide more prolongated action when compared to that of amlodipine-loaded egg albumin microspheres.

 

Keywords: amlodipine, microspheres, bovine serum albumin, scanning electron microscopy, FTIR.
