  • Published : 2003.04.01

Abstract

Various bupivacaine-Ioaded microspheres were prepared with poly (d,l-Iactide) (PLA) by solvent extraction method. The internal solution of polymer(PLA R104) and drug in glacial acetic acid was introduced into the external phase of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP K-30) in polyethyleneglycol (PEG), and emulsified to be an oil-in-oil (o/o) emulsion. The o/o emulsion was poured to the buffer solution. (omitted)
