Nylon microcapsules containing acetaminophen could be obtained by interfacial polymerization between sebacoyl chloride and 1, 6-hexamethylenediamine. Methylcellulose affected the micromeritic properties and dissolution characteristics of microcapsules. The particle size distribution was affected by the stirring speed and viscosity grade of methylcellulose. The surface observed by the scanning electron microscopy was affected by the methylcellulose. Nylon microcapsules produced in above method containing acetaminophen exhibited the retarded dissolution in comparison with uncoated acetaminophen. Release of acetaminophen from microcapsules decreased with decreasing pH of medium and with increasing the viscosity grade of methylcellulose and stirring speed.
