Resumen:
A PCL-PEO-PCL triblock copolymer was synthesized and used to prepare risperidone loaded nanospheres. Emulsifier and drug-polymer concentration were varied to obtain different release systems which were analyzed by AFM and DLS. Encapsulation efficiency and in vitro release profiles were also determined. Encapsulation efficiencies varied depending on the surfactant and the drug-polymer concentration used. Risperidone nanospheres presented a prolonged release except for those prepared with PVA at a high drug-polymer concentration which rapidly released the drug.
