The utilization of calcium alginate beads as core carriers for delayed dissolution followed by burst release as a potential method of intestinal site specific drug delivery was investigated. 5-Aminosalicylic acid was spray-coated on dried calcium alginate beads and then coated with different percentages of enteric coating polymer and/or sustained-release polymer. Beads coated with more than 6% (w/w) methacrylic copolymer plastisized with dibutyl sebacate and triethyl citrate resisted release in 2-hr acid fluid challenge and allowed immediate dissolution upon transfer to simulated intestinal fluid. With 6% (w/w) methacrylic copolymer on top of 4% (w/w) ethylcellulose polymer, the major portion of drug did not release in 2 hr of acid treatment or the next 3 hr of simulated intestinal fluid treatment. This dosage form provides the possibility to deliver drug to the lower intestinal tract with minimal early release, followed by sustained release in the colon.
