Formulation development and evaluation of layer-by-layer alginate/chitosan-coated microspheres loaded with simvastatin

Simvastatin (SMV) is a highly lipophilic drug that demonstrates poor bioavailability. This issue could be resolved through microencapsulation with the use of alginate (ALG) and chitosan (CS). We aimed to prepare and evaluate SMV-loaded microspheres coated with alternating layers of ALG and CS throug...
