“…Docetaxel release from the DTX-S group in the first 12 h was 49.3 ± 1.94 % and was then maintained with negligible increase after 24 h (51.1 ± 6.05 %). The phenomenon of docetaxel released in large amounts during the first few hours and no significant increase in the release in the subsequent hours has also been reported by other studies [53,54]. This may be explained by the poor water solubility of docetaxel.…”
