Spray dried formulation of mesalamine embedded with probiotic biomass for the treatment of ulcerative colitis: in-vitro and in-vivo studies

This study is using the targeted approach and anti-inflammatory action of the probiotic biomass to lessen the side effects of therapeutic agents of ulcerative colitis. The aim of the present study is to prepare mesalamine loaded eudragit S-100 with probiotic microparticles by spray drying method. The in-vitro release of the optimized formulation was 90.55 ± 2.42 in 24 hr, which display controlled drug release of mesalamine at a particular region. Mesalamine loaded eudragit S-100 with probiotic microparticles (F12) presented average particle size of 4.91 µm. The statistical analysis was done by one way ANOVA and then comparison test of Bonferroni was done and p values
