PROCESS FOR PRODUCING AN ANDROGRAPHOLIDE CARRIER SYSTEM
The present invention relates to a method for producing an andrographolide carrier system, comprising: (i) preparing a dispersed phase by dissolving andrographolide in ethanol solvent; (ii) preparing an inner encapsulating carrier layer; (iii) forming a protective encapsulating layer of the active agent; (iv) forming bonds to attach mucoadhesion enhancers onto the surface structure of the encapsulating layer, and then bringing the mixture to room temperature, slowly adding hydroxypropyl methylcellulose HPMC; (v) heating until the temperature reaches 50° C., adding Polysorbate 80 and PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil to the mixture, with further stirring under vacuum; and (vi) filtering the product by injection through a nanofilter system.
PROCESS FOR PREPARING NANO- OR MICROPARTICLES COMPRISING A CARRIER-POLYMER AND ONE OR MORE BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
A process can be used for preparing nano- or microparticles containing a carrier-polymer and a biologically active ingredient. The process is a solvent emulsion process involving an organic phase (OP) and an aqueous phase (AP) to form an emulsion. In the case of an oil-in-water emulsion (O/W), the organic phase (OP) contains the biologically active ingredient dissolved or dispersed therein. Alternatively, in the case of a water-in-oil emulsion (W.sub.1/O), the aqueous phase (AP) contains the biologically active ingredient dissolved or dispersed therein. The organic phase (OP) is saturated with the salt-containing aqueous phase (AP) and vice versa.
