Abstract

Present study involved the creation of microbeads loaded with dopamine, which were utilized as carriers for antioxidants, exhibiting regulated drug release characteristics. Synthesis of microbeads was achieved using a straightforward, yet efficient technique that entailed the crosslinking of dopamine and integration of antioxidants into the polymer matrix. To attain the desired swelling index and drug-loading efficiency, the formulation parameters were optimized. Encapsulation efficiency of the developed DP-bead was found to be 94 ± 1.2% and the swelling index was (155 ± 1.4%) (trial 2). Regulated release of dopamine from the microbeads were found to be 94 ± 0.3% and 47 ± 1.7% from in vitro drug release tests conducted under physiological (pH 7.4) and acidic conditions (pH 1.2), respectively. Antioxidant activity of the developed DP-bead was found to be 78.21%, which indicates the free radical elimination done by dopamine. Thereby, the developed DP-bead could be a promising antioxidative and controlled release application.

Graphical abstract

The fabrication of microbeads was achieved using emulsion encapsulation techniques. Through the process of crosslinking dopamine with a calcium chloride and sodium alginate as polymeric matrix was optimised. The synthesized microbeads loaded with dopamine was employed for delivering antioxidants, these nanobeads tested to demonstrated controlled drug release properties.
