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 therapeutic agent delivery system comprising a matrix, wherein the matrix comprises a biodegradable polymer having incorporated therein the therapeutic agent and an amphiphilic or hydrophobic compound incorporated within the matrix in an effective amount to modify the diffusion of water into the matrix and the release of the therapeutic agent from the matrix, wherein therapeutic agent is released over shorter periods of time as compared to release from a matrix not incorporating the hydrophobic or amphiphilic compound, wherein the therapeutic agent is selected from the group consisting of proteins, peptides, antibiotics, antivirals, steroids, antihistamines, bronchodilators, and hormones, wherein the hydrophobic or amphiphilic compound is selected from the group consisting of fatty acids and derivatives thereof, mono-, di and triglycerides, phospholipids, amino acids, and aromatic compounds, and wherein the matrix is formed by emulsifying a polymer solution, the therapeutic agent and a volatile salt and then removing the volatile salt and solvent. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the volatile salt is selected from the group consisting of ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium acetate and ammonium chloride. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the polymer is selected from the group consisting of poly(hydroxy acids), polyanhydrides, polyorthoesters, polyurethanes, and blends and copolymers thereof. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein the polymer is selected from the group consisting of poly(lactide), poly(glycolide), poly(lactide-co-gylcolide), poly(butyric acid), poly(valeric acid), copolymers of hydroxy acids with polyethylene glycol (PEG), poly(lactide-co-caprolactone). 5. The system of claim 1, further comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 6. The system of claim 5 in a form selected from the group consisting of powders, tablets, capsules, ointments, gels, lotions, or suspensions.
