RESUMO

The use of spouted bed technique in the drying of paste has been subject to many researches in the past years due to the possibility of obtaining high quality products at low cost. In present work the influence of this technique on microcapsule drug delivery systems performance was evaluated. Casein-pectin microcapsules with entrapped indomethacin and acetaminophen were prepared using the complex coacervation method. Thereafter the coacervates were dried using the spouted bed and spray drying techniques. After spouted bed drying an interaction between indomethacin and casein was observed, with reduction of drug recovery from microcapsules. The mass balance studies showed the absence of indomethacin segregation during spouted bed drying, which indicates drug-polymer interaction. This interaction was not observed for acetaminophen. The physico-chemical evaluation suggests that the indomethacin interaction had covalent nature and in vivo studies showed its stability under enzymatic biological conditions. The microcapsule residence time during spouted bed drying was determined using a validated and optimized stimulus response method. Despite the reliable results obtained it was not possible to determine the influence of residence times on drug-polymer interaction due to the stability of those values with operational conditions. On the other hand air temperature and air flow rate during spouted bed drying affected significantly the degree of drug polymer interaction. In order to evaluate the spouted bed and spray dried microcapsule?s performance a dissolution study was performed. The results showed very similar drug release, with exception for the non-crosslinked formulations dried in spouted bed. These microcapsules were ruptured by spouted bed mechanical stresses. The results obtained on the microcapsules performance evaluation and the characteristics of thermal efficiency and high evaporative capacity of spouted bed demonstrate the potential application of casein-pectin spouted bed drying
