Gastroresistant microparticles for oral administration of hesperidin (Hd) were produced by spray-drying using cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) as enteric polymer in different polymer/Hd weight ratio (1:1, 3:1, and 5:1), and a series of enhancers of the dissolution rate, such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose crosslinked (CMC), sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), or Tween85. The raw materials and the microparticles were investigated by differential-scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and imaged using scanning electron and fluorescence microscopy. In vitro dissolution tests were conducted using a pH-change method to investigate the influence of formulative parameters on the dissolution/release properties of the drug. CAP/Hd microparticles showed a good gastro-resistance but incomplete drug dissolution in the simulated intestinal fluid (SIF). The presence of the enhancers in the formulation produced well-formed microparticles with different size and morphology, containing the drug well coated by the polymer. All the enhancers were able to increase the dissolution rate of Hd in the simulated intestinal environment without altering CAP ability to protect Hd in the acidic fluid. The spray-drying technique and process conditions selected were effective in microencapsulating and stabilizing the flavonoid giving satisfactory encapsulation efficiency, product yield, and microparticles morphology, and a complete drug release in the intestine.

Abstract

Gastroresistant microparticles for oral administration of hesperidin (Hd) were produced by spray-drying using cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) as enteric polymer in different polymer/Hd weight ratio (1:1, 3:1, and 5:1), and a series of enhancers of the dissolution rate, such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose crosslinked (CMC), sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), or Tween85. The raw materials and the microparticles were investigated by differential-scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and imaged using scanning electron and fluorescence microscopy. In vitro dissolution tests were conducted using a pH-change method to investigate the influence of formulative parameters on the dissolution/release properties of the drug. CAP/Hd microparticles showed a good gastro-resistance but incomplete drug dissolution in the simulated intestinal fluid (SIF). The presence of the enhancers in the formulation produced well-formed microparticles with different size and morphology, containing the drug well coated by the polymer. All the enhancers were able to increase the dissolution rate of Hd in the simulated intestinal environment without altering CAP ability to protect Hd in the acidic fluid. The spray-drying technique and process conditions selected were effective in microencapsulating and stabilizing the flavonoid giving satisfactory encapsulation efficiency, product yield, and microparticles morphology, and a complete drug release in the intestine.
