MICROSPHEROIDAL-CONTROLLED RELEASE OF BIOMOLECULES

摘要

Silica-based xerogel microspheres are provided containing pharmaceutically active compounds. These microspheres are robust, release active compounds at predictable rates and may provide such release for relatively long periods of time. Pharmaceutical compositions, methods for delivering medicaments and methods for treatment of disease states or conditions, inter alia, infection or pain, as well as methods for fabrication of such microspheres, are also provided.
