In the present study, novel block copolymers of poly(l-lactide)-block-poly(propylene adipate) (PLLA-b-PPAd) were synthesized in two ratios, 90/10 and 75/25 w/w and were further investigated as long-acting injectable (LAI) polymeric matrices in naltrexone base microparticle formulations. The synthesized polymers were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FTIR, XRD, TGA and DSC. NMR and FTIR spectroscopies confirmed the successful synthesis of copolymers while DSC showed that these are block copolymers with well-defined and separated blocks. Microparticles were prepared by single emulsification method and were further characterized. Nanoparticles in the range of 0.4–4.5 μm were prepared as indicated by SEM, with copolymers giving the lowest particle size. By XRD and DSC it was found that naltrexone was present in the amorphous state in its microparticles. Dissolution study showed a drug release extending over seven days, indicating that these novel PLLA-b-PPAd copolymers could be promising matrices for naltrexone’s LAI formulations. It was evidenced that drug release depended on the copolymer composition. Model release studies showed that drug release is controlled by diffusion.
