| Abstract | Inter-polymer complexes (IPCs) of chitosan (CS) and cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) have been prepared to develop spherical microspheres by a novel emulsion-solvent evaporation technique. The microspheres were used for the oral delivery of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), an antimetabolite and antineoplastic agent, whose release time was extended up to 12 h. Formulations were prepared by varying the concentrations of CS, CAP and 5-FU. FTIR confirmed the formation of IPC, indicating no chemical interactions of 5-FU with the polymer matrix. Scanning electron microscopy suggested spherical shape of the microspheres with smooth surfaces. Average particle size measured by optical microscopy varied between 2.7 and 5.5 μm. Differential scanning calorimetry showed amorphous dispersion of 5-FU particles into the IPC matrix. Encapsulation efficiency as estimated by UV was dependent on polymer composition with the highest value of 96 %. Water uptake by the IPC microspheres was higher at higher concentration of CS in the matrix. In vitro drug release performed in pH 1.2 and pH 7.4 buffer media showed a dependence on compositions of CS, CAP and drug loading. Molar mass between cross-links (M c) and cross-link density (d x ) values of the polymer matrix calculated from swelling data indicated the formation of a dense matrix between CS and CAP; the matrix was able to control the release of 5-FU. The in vitro release data have been fitted to empirical equations to understand the nature of drug release mechanism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
