A lipid or other hydrophobic or amphiphilic compound (collectively referred to herein as "hydrophobic compounds") is integrated into a polymeric matrix for drug delivery to alter drug release kinetics. In embodiments where the drug is water soluble, the drug is released over longer periods of time as compared to release from the polymeric matrix not incorporating the hydrophobic compound into the polymeric material. In contrast to methods in which a surfactant or lipid is added as an excipient, the hydrophobic compound is actually integrated into the polymeric matrix, thereby modifying the diffusion of water into the microparticle and diffusion of solubilized drug out of the matrix. The integrated hydrophobic compound also prolongs degradation of hydrolytically unstable polymers forming the matrix, further delaying release of encapsulated drug.

We claim: 1. A method for administering a therapeutic or prophylactic agent comprising administering to a patient a matrix for delivery of a therapeutic or prophylactic agent, wherein the matrix is formed of a biocompatible polymer having incorporated therein an therapeutic or prophylactic agent and an effective amount of a hydrophobic or amphiphilic compound to modify the diffusion of water into the matrix and the release of the therapeutic or prophylactic agent from the matrix, wherein the drug is released over shorter periods of time as compared to release from matrices not incorporating the hydrophobic or amphiphilic compound, the matrix being formed by a method comprising emulsifying a polymer solution, the therapeutic or prophylactic agent, a hydrophobic or amphiphilic compound, and a pore forming agent, then removing the solvent and the pore forming agent to produce a matrix. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the matrix is in the form of microparticles. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the hydrophobic or amphiphilic compound is incorporated into the matrix at a ratio of between 0.01 and 60 by weight of hydrophobic compound to weight of polymer. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the hydrophobic or amphiphilic compound is a lipid incorporated into the matrix at a ratio of between 0.01 and 30 (weight lipid/weight matrix material). 5. The method of claim 4 wherein the lipid is selected from the group consisting of fatty acids and derivatives, mono-, di and triglycerides, phospholipids, sphingolipids, cholesterol and steroid derivatives, oils, vitamins and terpenes. 6. The method of claim 5 wherein the lipid is a phospholipid selected from the group consisting of phosphatidic acids, phosphatidyl cholines with both saturated and unsaturated lipids, phosphatidyl ethanolamines, phosphatidylglycerols, phosphatidylserines, phosphatidylinositols, lysophosphatidyl derivatives, cardiolipin, and β-acyl-y-alkyl phospholipids. 7. The method of claim 6 wherein the phospholipid is selected from the group consisting of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine, dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine, dipentadecanoylphosphatidylcholine, dilauroylphosphatidylcholine, dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, distearoylphosphatidylcholine, diarachidoylphosphatidylcholine, dibehenoylphosphatidylcholine, ditricosanoylphosphatidylcholine, dilignoceroylphatidylcholine; and phosphatidylethanolamines. 8. The method of claim 1 wherein the agent is a therapeutic agent. 9. The method of claim 1 wherein the matrix is formed of a bioadhesive polymer. 10. The method of claim 1 wherein the matrix is formed of a polymer selected from the group consisting of poly(hydroxy acids), polyanhydrides, polyorthoesters, polyamides, polycarbonates, polyalkylenes, polyalkylene glycols, polyalkylene oxides, polyalkylene terepthalates, polyvinyl alcohols, polyvinyl ethers, polyvinyl esters, polyvinyl halides, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polysiloxanes, poly(vinyl alcohols), poly(vinyl acetate), polystyrene, polyurethanes and co-polymers thereof, synthetic celluloses, polyacrylic acids, poly(butyric acid), poly(valeric acid), and poly(lactide-co-caprolactone), ethylene vinyl acetate, copolymers and blends thereof. 11. The method of claim 1 wherein the matrix is formed of a protein or polysaccharide. 12. The method of claim 1 wherein the matrix is in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for topical application or application to a mucosal surface. 13. The method of claim 1 wherein the matrix is in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for injection. 14. The method of claim 1 wherein the matrix is formulated for administration rectally or vaginally. 15. The method of claim 2 wherein the microparticles are formulated for pulmonary administration.
