Mi. Popa et al., PREPARATION OF 2,3-DICARBOXYCELLULOSE MICROSPHERES CONTAINING ANTITUMOR AGENT AS A DRUG CARRIER, Cellulose Chemistry and Technology, 30(1-2), 1996, pp. 33-38
This paper presents the preparation of magnetic 2,3 dicarboxycellulose
containing antitumor agent as a drug carrier. The physico-chemical ch
aracterization by differential calorimetry of the microspheres was mad
e and drug release from microspheres was studied in vitro. The constan
t release rate noted after 3 hours demonstrates the delayed release ch
aracter of drug incorporated in microspheres.
