Russian Chemical Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

An approach for the preparation of a polymer delivery system consisting of sodium alginate (SA) and carbopol was developed. The efficiency of the inclusion of medicinal compounds in these systems was investigated using the polyphenols curcumin and resveratrol as examples. Curcumin and resveratrol possess anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and antibacterial effects, which makes them promising compounds for use in clinical practice. The main disadvantage of these polyphenols is their low bioavailability. The formation of microcapsules occurs due to the precipitation of a mixture of SA and carbopol (carbopol 940 or ETD 2020), containing a model object, in a calcium chloride solution. The dependence of the inclusion of drugs in microcapsules and their release into gastrointestinal environment imitators on the viscosity characteristics of carbopol, which is part of the microcapsule shell, was investigated.
