Controlled release of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) from poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) hydrogels with three different degrees of crosslinking is reported. The swelling kinetic of PHEMA hydrogels in water was studied at different disc thicknesses and temperatures, and the diffusion coefficient and activation energy of the process were obtained. The gels were loaded with 5-FU by immersing them in concentrated aqueous solutions of the drug. The 5-FU release was studied as a function of temperature, disc thickness, disc load and degree of crosslinking of the gels; the diffusion coefficient and activation energy of the release process were also obtained.

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.
