Abstract:

5-Fu-COS/SeNP micro-spheres were prepared in two steps to study the antitumor drug load and auxiliary same effects as the drug carrier. First, the Fu-COS prodrug was synthesized with the broad-spectrum anti-tumor drug 5-fluorouracil(5-Fu) and chito-oligosaccharides(COS), then, Fu-COS was used as temples while 5-Fu-COS/SeNP was prepared by sol-gel method. 5-Fu-COS/SeNP was characterized by TEM, Zeta-sizer and IR, and its anti-tumor activity was detected by MTT method. The results showed that 5-Fu and Se were completely carried in 5-Fu-COS/SeNP, the size of 5-Fu-COS/SeNP was 433 nm, the drug-loading rate of 5-Fu and Se were (8.2±0.3)% and (7.96±0.34)%, respectively, and 5-Fu and nanose released slowly and had well inhibiting tumorous cellular growths activity. As time increases, release rate of the drug by Fu-COS/SeNP increased and the inhibition of cell enhanced. After 24 h, inhibition rate had exceeded the sum of 5-Fu and SeNP. After 48 h, the inhibition rate of Fu-COS/SeNP was less than the sum of the inhibition rate of 5-Fu and SeNP, but higher than that of 5-Fu or SeNP. These results indicated that the spheres have high drug loading efficiency and good drug release properties. This novel method to produce micro-spheres could expand the development of drug release research.
