Abstract
This invention provides a sustained-release preparation comprising a biodegradable polymer metal salt and broactive polypeptide, with enhanced entrapment of the bioactive polypeptides, a suppression of initial burst, and a constant long-term release of the bioactive polypeptides.
Claims21
A method of producing a sustained-release preparation which comprises, in this order:
- dispersing a bioactive polypeptide in an organic solvent containing a metal salt of a biodegradeable polymer, and
- removing said organic solvent from the resulting dispersion to form a particulate artifact.
