Preparation and In Vitro Release of Total Alkaloids from <i>Alstonia Scholaris</i> Leaves Loaded mPEG-PLA Microspheres

Total alkaloids of <i>Alstonia scholaris</i> leaves (ASAs) are extracted from the lamp leaves, which have positive anti-inflammatory activity and remarkable effects in treating bronchitis. Due to its short half-life, we used a degradable mPEG-PLA to physically encapsulate the total alkal...

Due to its short half-life, we used a degradable mPEG-PLA to physically encapsulate the total alkali of the lamp stage, and prepared a sustained-release microsphere by double-emulsion method. The ASAs-loaded mPEG<sub>10000</sub>-PLA microspheres were screened for better performance by testing the morphology, average particle size, embedding rate and drug loading of different molecular weight mPEG-PLA microspheres, which can stably and continuously release for 15 days at 37 &#176;C. The results of cytotoxicity and blood compatibility indicated that the drug-loaded microspheres have beneficial biocompatibility. Animal experiments showed that the drug-loaded microspheres had a beneficial anti-inflammatory effect. These results all indicated that mPEG-PLA is a controlled release carrier material suitable for ASAs.https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1944/12/9/1457total alkaloids from <i>Alstonia scholaris</i> leavesmPEG-PLAmicrospheresdrug releasebiocompatibility
