Abstract

Protein/peptide drugs are extensively used to treat various chronic and serious diseases. The short half-life of protein and peptide as therapeutics drug limit the realization of complete effects. Encapsulating drugs in microspheres can slow the speed of drug release and prolong the efficacy of drugs. The solvent evaporation method is widely used to prepare protein/ peptide microspheres because of its facile operation and minimal equipment requirements. This method has several challenges in the lower encapsulation efficiency, fluctuant release profiles and the stabilization of protein/peptides, which researchers believe may be solved by adjusting the preparation parameter or formulation of microspheres. The article discusses the formulation parameters that govern the preparation of protein/peptide-loaded microspheres by the solvent evaporation method, which provides an overview of the current promising strategies for solvent evaporation for protein/peptide microspheres. The article takes parameter evaluation as the framework, facilitating subsequent researchers to quickly find possible solutions when encountering problems.
