Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create alginate beads that enhance drug loading and prolong drug release, using ispaghula to boost loading and zein for extended release.
- Ibuprofen served as the model drug, and the results showed better loading (42%) and entrapment efficiency (84%) when ispaghula was included in the formulation.
- Techniques like Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy confirmed the structural improvements and smoother surfaces of the ispaghula-enhanced beads, leading to a drug release period extended to 6 hours with the zein coating.
