The biodegradable cellular capsule, being prepared from simple vaporization of liquid marbles, is an ideal vehicle for the potential application of drug encapsulation and release. This paper reports the fabrication of cellular capsules via facile vaporization of Pickering emulsion marbles in an ambient atmosphere. Stable Pickering emulsion (water in oil) was prepared while utilizing dichloromethane (containing poly(l-lactic acid)) and partially hydrophobic silica particles as oil phase and stabilizing agents respectively. Then, the Pickering emulsion marbles were formed by dropping emulsion into a petri dish containing silica particles with a syringe followed by rolling. The cellular capsules were finally obtained after the complete vaporization of both oil and water phases. The technique of scanning electron microscope (SEM) was employed to research the microstructure and surface morphology of the prepared capsules and the results showed the cellular structure as expected. An in vitro drug release test was implemented which showed a sustained release property of the prepared cellular capsules. In addition, the use of biodegradable poly(l-lactic acid) and the biocompatible silica particles also made the fabricated cellular capsules of great potential in the application of sustained drug release.
这种可生物降解的细胞胶囊是通过液体弹珠的简单蒸发制备而成的,是药物包封和释放潜在应用的理想载体。本文报道了在环境气氛中通过皮克林乳液弹珠的简易蒸发来制备细胞胶囊。利用二氯甲烷(含聚(L-乳酸))和部分疏水的二氧化硅颗粒分别作为油相和稳定剂,制备了稳定的皮克林乳液(油包水)。然后,通过用注射器将乳液滴入含有二氧化硅颗粒的培养皿中并滚动,形成皮克林乳液弹珠。在油相和水相完全蒸发后,最终获得细胞胶囊。采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)技术研究了制备的胶囊的微观结构和表面形态,结果显示出预期的细胞结构。进行了体外药物释放试验,结果表明制备的细胞胶囊具有缓释性能。此外,可生物降解的聚(L-乳酸)和生物相容性二氧化硅颗粒的使用也使得制备的细胞胶囊在持续药物释放应用中具有巨大潜力。
