Use Of Alginate Microparticles For Drug Delivery To Oesophagus

摘要

Attempt was made to investigate drug delivery to oesophagus using fluorescently labeled alginate micro-particles and visualizing tissue distribution three dimensionally by Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Alginate micro-particles were prepared by ion-gelation emulsification. Surface morphology studied by SEM and laser diffraction. Increased adherence of micro-particles to oesophageal tissue was observed.
