Despite being one of the first-line treatments for osteoporosis, the bisphosphonate drug class exhibits an extremely low oral bioavailability (bisphosphonate alendronate sodium (ALN) were prepared via hot-melt extrusion. The rate of drug release in vitro was modulated by tailoring the ratio of lactide to glycolide in the polymer and by altering the ALN-loading of the implants. All investigated implants exhibited sustained ALN release in vitro between 25 to 130 days, where implants of greater glycolide composition and higher ALN-loadings released ALN more rapidly. All PLGA implants demonstrated a sigmoidal release profile, characterised by an initial surface dissolution phase, followed by a period of zero-order drug diffusion, then relaxation or erosion of the polymer chains that caused accelerated release over the subsequent days. Contrastingly, the PLA implants demonstrated a logarithmic release profile, characterised by a gradual decrease in ALN release over time. |
