Abstract
Approximately spherical lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer (PLGA) microparticles include a biologically active substance. An average volume-based particle diameter of the PLGA microparticles is 1 μm or more and 150 μm or less. A Reactive Span Factor (R.S.F.) of the PLGA microparticles is satisfied with formula (1): 0.1<(R.S.F.)≤1.7 formula (1), wherein an R.S.F. means (D90−D10)/D50; D90 is a particle diameter (μm) corresponding to the cumulative 90% by volume of the cumulative particle diameter distribution from the small particle side; D50 is a particle diameter (μm) corresponding to the cumulative 50% by volume of the cumulative particle diameter distribution from the small particle side; and D10 is a particle diameter (μm) corresponding to the cumulative 10% by volume of the cumulative particle diameter distribution from the small particle side.
