The effectiveness of the covalent modification of a-chymotrypsin with methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) to afford its stabilization during encapsulation in poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) microspheres by a solid-in-oil-in-water method was investigated. a-Chymotrypsin was chemically modified w

The potential of cyclodextrins to stabilize a-chymotrypsin upon encapsulation in Poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) microspheres using a solid-in-oil-in-water (s/o/w) technique was investigated. Two cyclodextrins, hydroxyl-propyl-b-cyclodextrin (HPbCD) and methyl-b-cyclodextrin (MbCD), one insolub
Encapsulation of proteins in polyester microspheres by coacervation methods frequently causes protein inactivation and aggregation. Furthermore, an often-substantial amount of the encapsulated proteins is released within the first 24 h from the microspheres. To overcome these problems poly(ethylene
## Abstract Encapsulation of proteins in poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic) acid (PLGA) microspheres by the water‐in‐oil‐in‐water (w/o/w) technique is very challenging because of the inherent physical instability of proteins. In particular, exposure of proteins to the first water‐in‐oil emulsion causes unwan
