To quantitate the effect of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA)swelling property on the drug release performance of the novel microholes controlled drug delivery system(MCDDS)
swelling experiments were conducted with different monomer ratios of PLGA
and the results show that the changing rates of microholes caused by the PLGA swelling reach 2.7×10
-10
m/s of 50:50 PLGA and 6.6×10
-11
m/s of 65:35 PLGA. Taking 50:50 PLGA for example
the release processes of MCDDS were simulated by the finite element method with swelling rate as the boundary condition. Results show that the release period of MCDDS extends from 16 days without polymer swelling to 33 days as the PLGA swelling is considered; the m
atrix of PLGA only serves as a carrier without polymer swelling
whereas the polymer matrix and the microholes both play important roles in drug releasing when the swelling is considered
nearly 40% drug releases through microholes and 60% drug releases through polymer matrix. The cumulative released drug in the whole releasing process maintains approximate linearity.
