We compared samples of microencapsulated naloxone prepared by using spray drying technique. 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, sodium alginate, polycaprolactone, and carboxymethyl cellulose were used as the carriers. It was found that the combination of naloxone with sodium alginate was characterized by the highest naloxone content in the matrix and the lowest release rate (100% release time was 60 min). Using the model of respiratory disturbances caused by 10 ED fentanyl (anesthetic effect), we studied the effects of naloxone-sodium alginate complex on the dynamics of CO concentration in the expired air. It was shown that treatment with the developed microencapsulated naloxone after fentanyl injection allowed reducing the therapeutic dose of the antagonist by more than 2 times and eliminated the necessity of repeated injections.

Antinociceptive effect of intrathecal microencapsulated human pheochromocytoma cell in a rat model of bone cancer pain.

Int J Mol Sci

Human pheochromocytoma cells, which are demonstrated to contain and release met-enkephalin and norepinephrine, may be a promising resource for cell therapy in cancer-induced intractable pain. Intrathecal injection of alginate-poly (l) lysine-alginate (APA) microencapsulated human pheochromocytoma cells leads to antinociceptive effect in a rat model of bone cancer pain, and this effect was blocked by opioid antagonist naloxone and alpha 2-adrenergic antagonist rauwolscine. Neurochemical changes of cerebrospinal fluid are in accordance with the analgesic responses.

Sustained release of naltrexone from poly(n-isopropylacrylamide) microgels.

J Pharm Sci

January 2014

Department of Pharmacy, School of Pharmacy, University of Oslo, Blindern, N-0316, Oslo, Norway; Faculty of Engineering, Østfold University College, N-1757, Halden, Norway.

The release of the opioid antagonist naltrexone from neutral poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAM) microgels and negatively charged PNIPAAM microgels containing acrylic acid groups (PNIPAAM-co-PAA) has been studied at various microgel and drug concentrations. The release curves were found to be well represented by the Weibull equation. The release rates were observed to be dependent on the microgel concentration.

In the present work the influence of the variables of the microencapsulation procedure on the size of poly (epsilon-caprolactone) microparticles (PECL-MP) obtained by the solvent evaporation method is analysed. This study will allow to choose the work conditions necessary to obtain a suitable PECL-MP size for parenteral administration. Agitation rate in the emulsion formation step, polymer concentration and organic/aqueous phase volume ratio were the variables of the microencapsulation procedure that showed a highest influence on the PECL-MP size.

Intrathecal transplants of adrenal medullary chromaffin cells relieve chronic pain by secreting catecholamines, opioids, and other neuroactive substances. Recently, macrocapsules with semipermeable membranes were used to isolate immunologically xenogenic chromaffin cells, but the poor viability in vivo of the encapsulated chromaffin cells limited the usefulness of this method. In this study, we used a novel method of encapsulation to increase the viability of chromaffin cells.
