유화제로 polyoxyethylene(20)sorbitan monostearate, sorbitan sesquioleate을 혼합 사용하고, 분산상으로 liquid paraffin, 연속상으로 deionized water를 원료로 사용하여 Direct유화법을 이용한 전상법과 Invert유화법을 3가지 단계의 제조방법으로 나누어서 O/W에멀젼을 제조하였고, 각 단계 전상유화법에서 첨가되는 물의 양에 따른 최종 O/W에멀젼의 입자크기변화를 관찰하였다. Direct유화법을 이용한 2단계 전상유화법을 사용하여 제조한 결과, 미세하고 균일한 입자를 갖는 O/W에멀젼은 W/O에서 (W/O)W 이중에멀젼으로의 전환 단계를 거쳐야만 생성됨을 알 수 있었다. Invert유화법을 사용한 3단계전상유화법은 W/O 에서 일종의 Pseudomicroemulsion gel상을 거쳐 미세하고 균일한 O/W유화 입자가 얻어졌다. 3단계 전상법이 2단계 전상법보다 더 미세하고 균일한 입자를 생성하였다. 실험에서 사용한 모든 유화법에서 혼합유화제의 HLB가 10.0 - 10.8 영역에서 가장 미세한 에멀젼입자가 형성되었다. 이 HLB영역에서 혼합유화제가 용해되어있는 오일상에 첨가되어 가용화되는 물의 양이 최대로 많았으며, 최대 가용화 물양을 갖는 유화제의 조성에서 가장 미세하고 균일한 입자가 얻어졌다.

For the present study, rhEGF was encapsulated into solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs). The SLNs were prepared by the $W_1/O/W_2$ double emulsification method combined with the high pressure homogenization method and the physical properties such as particle size, zeta-potential and encapsulation efficiency were measured. The overall particle morphology of SLNs was investigated using a transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The percutaneous skin permeation and accumulation property of rhEGF was evaluated using Franz diffusion cell system along with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The mean particle size of rhEGF-loaded SLNs was $104.00{\pm}3.99nm$ and the zeta-potential value was in the range of -$36.99{\pm}0.54mV$, providing a good colloidal stability. The TEM image revealed a spherical shape of SLNs about 100 nm and the encapsulation efficiency was $18.47{\pm}0.22%$. The skin accumulation of rhEGF was enhanced by SLNs. CLSM image analysis provided that the rhEGF rat skin accumulation is facilitated by an entry of SLNs through the pores of skin.

Microcapsules consisting of natural, biodegradable polymers for controlled and/or sustained core release applications are needed. Physicochemical properties of whey proteins suggest that they may be suitable wall materials in developing such microcapsules. The objectives of the research were to develop water-insoluble, whey protein-based microcapsules containing a model water-soluble drug using a chemical cross-linking agent, glutaraldehyde, and to investigate core release from these capsules at simulated physiological conditions. A model water soluble drug, theophylline, was suspended in whey protein isolate (WPI) solution. The suspension was dispersed in a mixture of dichloromethane and hexane containing 1% biomedical polyurethane. Protein matrices were cross-linked with 7.5-30 ml of glutaraldehyde-saturated toluene (GAST) for 1-3 hr. Microcapsules were harvested, washed, dried and analyzed for core retention, microstructure, and core release in enzyme-free simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and simulated intestinal fluid(SIF) at $37^{\circ}C$. A method consisting of double emulsification and heat gelation was also developed to prepare water-insoluble, whey protein-based microcapsules containing anhydrous milkfat (AMF) as a model apolar core. AMF was emulsified into WPI solution (15${\sim}$30%, pH 4.5-7.2) at a proportion of 25${\sim}$50%(w/w, on dry basis). The oil-in-water emulsion was then added and dispersed into corn oil ($50^{\circ}C$) to form an O/W/O double emulsion and then heated at $85^{\circ}C$ for 20 min for gelation of whey protein wall matrix. Effects of emulsion composition and pH on core retention, microstructure, and water-solubility of microcapsules were determined. Overall results suggest that whey proteins can be used in developing microcapsules for controlled and sustained core release applications.

Porous poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) microspheres (PLGA MS) have been utilized as an inhalation delivery system and a matrix scaffold system for tissue engineering. Here, gelatin (type A) is introduced as an extractable pH-responsive porogen, which is capable of controlling the porosity and pore size of PLGA microspheres. Porous PLGA microspheres were prepared by a water-in-oil-in-water ($w_1/o/w_2$) double emulsification/solvent evaporation method. The surface morphology of these microspheres was examined by varying pH (2.0~11.0) of water phases, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Also, their porosity and pore size were monitored by altering acidification time (1~5 h) using a phosphoric acid solution. Results showed that the pore-forming capability of gelatin was optimized at pH 5.0, and that the surface pore-formation was not significantly observed at pHs of < 4.0 or > 8.0. This was attributable to the balance between gel-formation by electrostatic repulsion and dissolution of gelatin. The appropriate time-selection between PLGA hardening and gelatin-washing out was considered as a second significant factor to control the porosity. Delaying the acidification time to ~5 h after emulsification was clearly effective to make pores in the microspheres. This finding suggests that the porosity and pore size of porous microspheres using gelatin can be significantly controlled depending on water phase pH and gelatin-removal time. The results obtained in this study would provide valuable pharmaceutical information to prepare porous PLGA MS, which is required to control the porosity.

미세캡슐 (microencapsulation)은 내부 물질(core material)의 방출을 제어하기 위하여 여러 천연 및 생분해성 물질이 사용된다. 유청단백질은 이러한 목적에 아주 적합한 것으로 여겨지고 있는데 이는 독특한 이화학적 특성에 기인되는 것이다. 본 연구팀은 drug이나 생리활성물질을 피복하기 위하여 cross-linking 물질로 glutaraldehyde를 사용하여 수용성 이면서 유청단백질을 근간으로 하는 미세캡슐 제조기술을 개발하였다. 또한 생리적 조건에서 이들 캡슐의 분해 및 포집물질의 방출에 대한 연구를 수행하였는데 수용성 drug으로 사용된 theophylline은 유청단백질에 잘 분산되는 것으로 확인되었다. 이 분산액은 !%의 생리활성물질인 polyurethane을 함유하는 dichloromethane과 hexane 혼합불에 잘 확산이 되었다. 미세캡슐공정에서 피복물질로 사용되는 여러 물질중에서 유청단백질은 생리적 효능이 뛰어나고 여러 물리적 작용이 있기 때문에 새로운 피복소재로써 그 효용성이 매우 높다. 지금까지의 연구결과 유청단백질을 이용한 미세캡슐의 제조는 유청단백질이 가지는 기능적 효과와 내부물질이 지니는 약리효과를 동시에 이용할 수 있다는 점에서 향후 고부가 식품 의약품 첨가물질로써 유용성이 기대된다고 하겠다.
