Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Ibuprofen has a short half-life (1–3 h) and is typically administered 3–4 times daily with subsequent adverse side effects. A good approach to reduce these effects is the preparation of sustained-release formulations of ibuprofen. Acetylated starches form water-insoluble, acid-resistant films that can substantially retard drug release. Ibuprofen microspheres were prepared using acetylated plantain starch as sustained-release polymer. Starch obtained from unripe plantain (Musa Paradisiaca normalis) were acetylated using acetic anhydride with pyridine (degrees of substitution, DS 1.5 ± 0.05 and 2.20 ± 0.10). The starches were characterized using morphology, crystallinity, swelling, density and flow properties. Ibuprofen microspheres were prepared by quasi-emulsion solvent diffusion method, using acetylated plantain starches DS 1.5 and 2.20 in comparison to Eudragit S100. Full 3 factorial experimental design was performed with polymer type (X), polymer: drug ratio (X) as independent factors; microsphere size, entrapment, and quantity of drug released in 12 h (Q) were dependent variables. The data from in vitro drug release were fitted to various kinetic models. Acetylation resulted in larger starch aggregates with disruption in crystalline order. Ibuprofen microspheres were spherical with size 5.50 ± 4.00–129.90 ± 12.97 µm. Drug entrapment was 43.92 ± 4.00–79.91 ± 6.15%. Values of Q ranged from 20.10 ± 0.55 to 54.00 ± 5.71%. Interaction between variables X and X had positive effects on size and entrapment. Drug release fitted zero order, first order and Baker-Lonsdale kinetic models. Acetylated starch of plantain with DS 2.20 was suitable as a polymer at polymer:drug ratio 4:1 for the formulation of ibuprofen microspheres with prolonged drug release.
