Pharmacological preparations are used for treatment to control heart rate and rhythm. Amiodarone is one of these highly effective preparations, but, at the same time, it has significant toxicity and nonspecific accumulation in tissues. The drug delivery system based on polyelectrolyte microcapsules is one of the solutions. For this purpose, we compared different encapsulation methods of amiodaron: monoammonium salt of glycyrrhizic acid (Am:MASGA) complex (molar ratio 1:8). The concentration of amiodarone was determined by spectrophotometric methods at 251 nm. It has been shown that the co-precipitation method allows capturing 8% of Am:MASGA by CaCO3 microspherulites, which is not sufficient for the long-acting drug. The adsorption method allows encapsulating more than 30% of Am:MASGA into CaCO3 microspherulites and polyelectrolyte microcapsules CaCO3(PAH\/PSS)3, but, at the same time, an insignificant amount of substance is released into the incubation medium. The development of delivery and long-acting drug system based on such methods are not inexpedient. The most appropriate encapsulation method of Am:MASGA is the adsorption method into polyelectrolyte microcapsules with complex interpolyelectrolyte structure (PAH\/PSS)3. Such a type of PMC adsorbed about 50% of the initial amount of the substance and 25\u201330% of Am:MASGA was released into the medium after 115 h of incubation. The adsorption of Am:MASGA by polyelectrolyte microcapsules has electrostatic nature as evidenced by the acceleration of the release by 1.8 times as ionic strength increases<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms24043348","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,8]],"date-time":"2023-02-08T03:01:45Z","timestamp":1675825305000},"page":"3348","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Polyelectrolyte Microcapsules\u2014A Promising Target Delivery System of Amiodarone with the Possibility of Prolonged Release"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8129-9635","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aleksandr L.","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Biophysics Russian Academy of Science, Institutskaya St., 3, 142290 Puschino, Moscow Region, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4038-2042","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Egor V.","family":"Musin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Biophysics Russian Academy of Science, Institutskaya St., 3, 142290 Puschino, Moscow Region, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8686-3568","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Munojat J.","family":"Oripova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry named after O.Sodikov Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, M.
