This poster presents Orally Disintegrating Films (ODF) as Vectors for Micro/Nanoparticle Delivery using Benzocaine as a Model Drug. Orally disintegrating film (ODF) was developed as a novel delivery system for micro/nanoparticle APIs.
Roquette
Using a single, non-GMO pregelatinized hydroxypropyl pea starch polymer (Lycoat® RS720), ODFs were created by the film casting technique at room temperature. ODF constructs were loaded with benzocaine (a model drug): microparticles; or nanoparticles.
Drug uniformity and dissolution were evaluated to compare their performance.
