A novel controlled release drug delivery system for multiple drugs based on electrospun nanofibers containing nanoparticles

J Pharm Sci. 2010 Dec;99(12):4805-11. doi: 10.1002/jps.22189.

Abstract

This study describes development of a novel controlled drug release system for multiple drugs, it consisted of Chitosan nanoparticles/PCL composite electrospun nanofibers with core-sheath structures. Two model agents' rhodamine B and naproxen were successfully loaded in the core and sheath region respectively. The behavior of these two agents demonstrated a good controlled release and temporality, providing a new way to obtain program or temporality release for multiple agents. Particularly, this is potential applications in the field of tissue engineering, sutures and wound dressings.
