Abstract

The embodiments relate to a pharmaceutically effective composition comprising sustained release particles, each sustained release particle comprising a shell and a core, wherein the shell comprises a first material and a second material, the second material comprising a first biodegradable material, wherein the core is enclosed by the shell and the core comprises a drug, wherein the first material is distributed in a matrix of the first biodegradable material, wherein the first material is configured to create holes in the shell and comprises metallic particles, wherein the holes allow the drug to be released to the exterior of the shell through the holes, and wherein the drug comprises a targeting material or targeting molecule that binds to a certain organ, object or a specific site within a body of a human or an animal.

Claims (29)

1 . A biodegradable product comprising sustained release particles comprising a drug, wherein the sustained release particles are embedded in a biodegradable polymer matrix, wherein the biodegradable polymer matrix comprises pores and a coating;

wherein: each sustained release particle comprising a shell and a core,

wherein the shell comprises a first material and a second material, the second material comprising a first biodegradable material,

wherein the core is enclosed by the shell and the core comprises the drug,

wherein the first material is distributed in a matrix of the first biodegradable material, wherein the first material is configured to create holes in the shell and comprises an iron containing polymer, wherein the holes allow the drug to be released to exterior of the shell through the holes.

2 . The biodegradable product of claim 1 , wherein the biodegradable polymer matrix comprises a biodegradable foam, a biodegradable sol-gel or a biodegradable thermoplastic polymer.

3 . The biodegradable product of claim 1 , wherein the biodegradable product is configured to be implanted into an organ or underneath a skin for an effective local or a systemic delivery of the drug, wherein the biodegradable product is degradable in a body of a human or an animal.

4 . The biodegradable product of claim 1 , wherein a sustained release of the drug is within a time-period ranging from about 1 week to about 5 years.

5 . A biodegradable product comprising a pharmaceutically effective composition comprising sustained release particles comprising a drug, wherein the sustained release particles are embedded in a biodegradable polymer matrix comprising pores and a coating; wherein:

each sustained release particle comprising a shell and a core,

wherein the shell comprises a first material and a second material, the second material comprising a first biodegradable material,

wherein the core is enclosed by the shell and the core comprises the drug,

wherein the first material is distributed in a matrix of the first biodegradable material, wherein the first material is configured to create holes in the shell and comprises an iron containing polymer, wherein the holes allow the drug to be released to exterior of the shell through the holes, and

the pharmaceutically effective composition comprises a targeting material or a targeting molecule that binds to a certain organ, an object, or a specific site within a body of a human or an animal.

6 . The biodegradable product of claim 1 , wherein a first time for biodegradability (T1) of the sustained release particles is shorter than a second time for biodegradability (T2) of the biodegradable polymer matrix.

7 . The biodegradable product of claim 1 , wherein the coating comprises a hydrolyzing polymer.

8 . The biodegradable product of claim 1 , wherein the drug comprises a contraceptive hormone, a cancer drug, GLP-1 or an analog thereof, an ocular drug, a cardiac related drug, a bladder related drug, diabetes drug, hypercholesterolemia drug, hypertriglyceridemia drug, or combinations thereof.

9 . The biodegradable product of claim 1 , wherein the sustained released particles beads are configured to be rupture at different times within a body of a human or an animal.

10 . The biodegradable product of claim 2 , wherein the biodegradable foam comprises a plurality of pores having a pore size less than about 10 microns.

11 . The biodegradable product of claim 2 , wherein the biodegradable foam has an average cell size of about 300 micron or less with an opening between adjacent cells of about 200 microns or less.

12 . The biodegradable product of claim 1 , wherein the biodegradable product contains an ingredient that prevents the biodegradable product from being taken up by a host defense in a human or an animal.

13 . The biodegradable product of claim 1 , wherein the biodegradable polymer matrix is further surrounded by a skin layer that is configured to prevent entry of blood cells into the biodegradable polymer matrix while permitting entry of blood serum.

14 . The biodegradable product of claim 13 , wherein a pore size of the skin layer is less than 10 microns.

15 . The biodegradable product of claim 14 , wherein a second time (t2) is shorter than a third time (t3) for biodegradability of the skin layer.

16 . The biodegradable product of claim 13 , wherein a pore size of the skin layer is less than 5 microns.

17 . The biodegradable product of claim 5 , wherein the biodegradable product is configured to have a sustained release of the drug for a time-period ranging from about 1 month to about 3 years.

18 . The biodegradable product of claim 5 , wherein the biodegradable product is configured to have a first time for biodegradability (T1) of the sustained release particles shorter than a second time for biodegradability (T2) of the biodegradable polymer matrix, wherein the second time (t2) is shorter than a third time (t3) for biodegradability of a skin layer; and wherein the sustained release particles are configured to rupture at different times within the body of the human or the animal.

19 . The biodegradable product of claim 5 , wherein the drug comprises a contraceptive hormone, a cancer drug, GLP-1 or an analog thereof, an ocular drug, a cardiac related drug, a bladder related drug, a diabetes drug, a hypercholesterolemia drug, a hypertriglyceridemia drug, or a combination thereof.

20 . The biodegradable product of claim 18 , wherein the biodegradable polymer matrix is further surrounded by the skin layer that is configured to prevent entry of blood cells into the biodegradable polymer matrix while permitting entry of blood serum.
