Dexamethasone-Loaded Chitosan Beads Coated with a pH-Dependent Interpolymer Complex for Colon-Specific Drug Delivery

Chitosan (CS) microparticles loaded with dexamethasone were prepared by spray drying, followed by coating with a pH-dependent interpolymer complex based on poly(acrylic acid)/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) using an water-in-oil emulsion technique. The aim of this research was to evaluate the influence of P...
