Biopolymers have gained attention between scientists and investors due to the feasibility to elaborate novel engineered materials. Specially in the pharmaceutical industry, biopolymers have been used to elaborate novel excipients for the drug delivery systems (DDS), designed at microscopic and nanoscopic level. The main objective of the present research is to develop drug delivery systems supported in micro/nano particles from starch and carrageenan In order to develop microparticles and nanoparticles, two methods were considered. For the elaboration of micro/nanogels from carrageenan, a microemulsion method assisted by sonication was used. In this case, the method uses the gel-forming property of carrageenan in presence of KCl. For the elaboration of starch nanoparticles, the nanoprecipitation method was utilized by using starch from native potatoes and tripolyphosphate as cross-linking agent in alkaline medium. In both cases, enrofloxacin (ENX) was used as a drug model and ENX was loaded by using surfactant Tween®80 solutions. ENX is a liposoluble drug that can be dissolved in polysorbate solutions. Starch and carrageenan systems were characterized by morphological studies, structural and thermal tests. In addition, encapsulation studies and in vitro release tests were performed. ENX-loaded carrageenan micro/nanogel systems achieved sizes between 178 and 274 nm, while the hydrodynamic diameter was 986 nm - 1555 nm, with the capacity of forming stable suspensions. Moreover, it was shown that the amount and release rate of ENX are influenced by the concentration of Tween®80 used during the preparation. Similarly, starch nanoparticles loaded with ENX were obtained, whose sizes ranged between 60 and 240 nm, although no swelling capacity nor formation of stable suspensions was observed. For all the systems, it was shown that the release of ENX is dominated by Fickian diffusive phenomena, and can be controlled according to the amount of surfactant used in the formulation. In conclusion, the results indicate that carrageenan and starch particles could be considered good alternatives for the preparation of excipients and other biomedical applications due to their ease of preparation and the possibility of controlling the release kinetics of active substances. Additionally, micro- and nano-objects produced from natural polymers have potential applications in smart DDS, especially those that can be controlled by stimuli (electrical or mechanical) in new electronic devices, such as TENGs.
