Reaction Steps

A 1 kg batch of naltrexone microspheres were prepared as follows. Polymer solution was formed by dissolving 75:25 DL PLGA (poly(lactide)-co-glycolide) in ethyl acetate (EtAc) to form a solution of 16.7% polymer and 83.3% EtAc. A naltrexone solution was formed by dissolving naltrexone base in benzyl alcohol (BA) to form a solution of 30% naltrexone base anhydrous and 70% BA. The polymer solution and the naltrexone solution were mixed together to form a drug/polymer solution that was the “organic” or “oil” phase of the emulsion.
