Abstract

Allapinin has antiarrhythmic activity and can be used to prevent and treat various supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias. Nevertheless, it is highly toxic and has a number of side effects associated with non-specific accumulation in various tissues. The complex of this substance with the monoammonium salt of glycyrrhizic acid (Al:MASGA) has less toxicity and improved antiarrhythmic activity. However, the encapsulation of Al:MASGA in polyelectrolyte microcapsules (PMC) for prolonged release will reduce the residual adverse effects of this drug. In this work, the possibility of encapsulating the allapinin–MASGA complex in polyelectrolyte microcapsules based on polyallylamine and polystyrene sulfonate was investigated. The encapsulation methods of the allapinin–MASGA in polyelectrolyte microcapsules by adsorption and coprecipitation were compared. It was found that the coprecipitation method did not result in the encapsulation of Al:MASGA. The sorption method facilitated the encapsulation of up to 80% of the original substance content in solution in PMC. The release of the encapsulated substance was further investigated, and it was shown that the release of the encapsulated Al:MASGA was independent of the substance content in the capsules, but at pH 5, a two-fold decrease in the rate of drug release was observed.
