Osmotic-driven release of papaverine hydrochloride from novel poly(decane-co-tricarballylate) elastomeric matrices
Published 2010“…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.…”
