Method for preparing prolonged release microcapsules

This invention provides a microcapsule designed for zero order release of a physiologically active polypeptide over a period of at least two months, which is produced by preparing a water-in-oil emulsion comprising an inner aqueous layer containing about 20 to 70% (w/w) of said polypeptide and an oi...

Zusammenfassung:This invention provides a microcapsule designed for zero order release of a physiologically active polypeptide over a period of at least two months, which is produced by preparing a water-in-oil emulsion comprising an inner aqueous layer containing about 20 to 70% (w/w) of said polypeptide and an oil layer containing a copolymer or homopolymer having a weight-average molecular weight of 7,000 to 30,000, the molar composition ratio of lactic acid/glycolic acid being 80/20 to 100/0, subjecting said water-in oil emulsion to microencapsulation.
