This work introduces a novel route to the sodium carboxymethylcellulose sub-micron fibers loaded with hydrophilic anticancer drug, 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu). The results show that 5-Fu is successfully incorporated into the biocompatible polymer, sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC)-based fibers with good stability, desired drug loading content and 100% entrapment efficiency. Furthermore, the drug release rate of the as-prepared drug-loaded fibers could be well controlled. The drug release behavior of the 5-Fu-loaded NaCMC fibers shows a diffusion mechanism, obeying Ritger-Peppas kinetics model. The drug release behavior of the as-prepared products demonstrates their promising application in drug delivery system.

D004337 Drug Carriers Forms to which substances are incorporated to improve the delivery and the effectiveness of drugs. Drug carriers are used in drug-delivery systems such as the controlled-release technology to prolong in vivo drug actions, decrease drug metabolism, and reduce drug toxicity. Carriers are also used in designs to increase the effectiveness of drug delivery to the target sites of pharmacological actions. Liposomes, albumin microspheres, soluble synthetic polymers, DNA complexes, protein-drug conjugates, and carrier erythrocytes among others have been employed as biodegradable drug carriers.
