Abstract
Designing a vehicle for local delivery of proteins using intra-articular route is an attractive option to minimize the adverse effects associated with systemic exposure and to maximize the efficacy. Slowly dissolving silylated microparticles are designed with specific size and shape that are capable of extending the retention time of a model protein (bovine serum albumin) in the murine knee joint. No cytotoxicity is observed for the reconstituted formulation when tested against synovial fibroblasts and RAW 264.7 macrophages.Entities:
