Osmotic-driven release of papaverine hydrochloride from novel poly(decane-co-tricarballylate) elastomeric matrices by Shaker, Mohamed A.

“…Furthermore, it was found that coformulating papaverine hydrochloride with trehalose increases the release rate without altering the linear nature of the drug release kinetics. Conclusions: A new delivery vehicle composed of biodegradable poly(decane-co-tricarballylate) elastomers was demonstrated to be a promising and effective matrix for linear, constant and controllable osmotic-driven release of drugs. © 2010 Future Science Ltd.…”
