THERAPEUTIC TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF INFECTIONS WITH A BIOACTIVE MATERIAL(S) ENCAPSULATED WITHIN A BIODEGRADABLE-BIO-COMPATIBLE POLYMERIC MATRIX
Novel burst-free, sustained release biocompatible and biodegrable microcapsules which can be programmed to release their active core for variable durations ranging from 1-100 days in an aqueous physiological environment. The microcapsules are comprised of a core of polypeptide or other biologically active agent encapsulated in a matrix of poly(lactide/glycolide) copolymer having a molar composition of lactide/glycolide from 90/10 to 40/60, which may contain a pharmaceutically-acceptable adjuvant, as a blend of uncapped free carboxyl end group and end-capped forms ranging to ratios from 100/0 to 1/99.
