Novel macromolecular therapeutics such as peptides, proteins, and DNA are advancing rapidly toward the clinic. Because of typically low oral bioavailability, macromolecule delivery requires invasive methods such as frequently repeated injections. Parenteral depots including biodegradable polymer mic

Fatty acid microspheres based on stearic and palmitic acids are known to form effective taste masking systems, although the mechanisms by which the drug is preferentially released in the lower gastrointestinal tract are not known. The objective of the present study was to identify the mechanisms inv
Biocompatible, biodegradable copolymers of glutamic acid and ethyl glutamate were evaluated for their permeability to proteins ranging in molecular weight from 12,300 to 69,000. The results showed that the copolymers were sufficiently permeable that they could be used for the preparation of implanta
## Abstract Prostaglandin E~2~ (PGE~2~) is an arachidonic acid metabolite involved in physiological homeostasis and numerous pathophysiological conditions. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that prostaglandins have a stimulating effect not only on angiogenesis __in situ__ and __in vitro__ but a
## Abstract Semiβinterpenetrating network (IPN) of sodium alginate (NaAlg) and __N__βisopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) microspheres were prepared by waterβinβoil (w/o) emulsification method. The microspheres were encapsulated with 5βfluorouracil (5βFU) and release patterns carried in 7.4 pH at temperatu
