Method for producing a microparticle

摘要

This invention provides a method for producing a microparticle which comprises pulverizing a solid preparation comprising a compound represented by the formula: wherein ring A is an optionally substituted benzene ring; R is a hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group; B is an optionally esterified or amidated carboxyl group; X is -CH(OH)- or -CO-; k is 0 or 1; and n is 0, 1 or 2 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a biodegradable polymer of alpha -hydroxycarboxylic acid in the presence of a pulverizing auxiliary, which can provide microparticles which are less adhesive and involve less aggregation and are thus excellent in drug entrapment ratio and control of drug-release in a desired particle size.
