Procedure
PLGA polymer (MW 24,000, 180 mg) was dissolved in EtOAc (1800 μL). Oxytocin acetate (40 mg) was dissolved in MeOH (200 μL) and added to the polymer solution yielding a milky suspension as the organic phase. The resulting organic phase was combined with a 1% PVA aqueous phase containing 10 mM disodium pamoate to provide an emulsion. The emulsion was collected directly into a 0.3% PVA solvent extraction solution (150 mL) and stirred for four hours to extract EtOAc. Hardened microparticles were collected by filtration, washed with water, air dried and stored at 4° C. This provided formulation BM (158 mg, 79.0% yield) with a median particle size 144 μm. The core load (8.9%), encapsulation efficiency (44.5%) and in vitro burst (21.1%) were determined by RP-HPLC assay.
