Synopsis: Ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVA1) copolymer was evaluated as a controlling membrane for the release of anticancer agents, 5-fluorouracil and ftorafur. The effect of comonomer ratio modifications on the drug permeation was studied. EVA1 copolymer membranes of ethylene contents of 32, 44, and 47 mol% were used.
