Pcl/Peg Electrospun Fibers as Drug Carriers for the Controlled Delivery of Dipyridamole

Abstract: Electrospinning is a versatile and diverse technology for the production of nano-and microfibers that can be used as a drug delivery system (DDS). The aim of this study was to create fibrous scaffolds from a mixture of polycaprolactone (PCL) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) and to evaluate the suitability of the fibers as DDS. Dipyridamole (DPA), an anti-thrombotic and anti-proliferative pharmaceutical agent, was used as a model drug. Two types of PEG with different chain length were used. The structural, mechani… Show more

“…As expected, the drug-free PCL mats used in this study have proven to be biocompatible with the HeLa and Ca Ski cells used (Figure 10a). It was shown previously that PCL/PEG nanofibers could control dipyridamole drugs [82]. Diclofenac sodium salt was used as the model drug in this study, as it was shown to have anti-inflammatory properties in addition to anticancer activity [37].…”

“…Silica and PEG potentially affect the charge density of electrospun solutions, which directly affects the fiber diameter. In the relevant research [ 32 ], PEG showed lower electrical conductivity with a subsequently higher fiber diameter. Figure 2 demonstrates that the cationic nature of the encapsulated drug resulted in a larger fiber diameter compared with the ‘empty’ core PVA-PEG-SiO 2 and core–shell PVA-PEG-SiO 2 @PVA-GO.…”

“…Drug release from a biodegradable carrier mainly occurs by polymer degradation or molecule diffusion thereby polymer properties are noteworthy to diversify drug release profile. For instance, diffusion of drugs is more expected instead of polymer degradation aided release in an aqueous medium for PCL due to its poor water solubility [69]. However, NF blend -MSN@ Cur100 lead a zero-order drug release profile, which allows the curcumin presence on the target area without any dose fluctuations.…”
