Research on 5-fluorouracil as a drug carrier materials with its in vitro release properties on organic modified magadiite

The magadiite (MAG) was modified by cetyltrimethyl ammonium‐Bromide (CTAB) and then further modified by Chitosan (CS) which is called organic modified‐magadiite as magadiite‐cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (MAG‐CTAB) and magadiite‐cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide‐Chitosan (MAG‐CTAB‐CS), respectively, in this research study. The MAG, MAG‐CTAB, and MAG‐CTAB‐CS were used as 5‐Fluorouracil (5‐FU) drug carrier materials; the drug carrier's materials were marked as magadiite‐5‐Fluorouracil (MAG/5‐FU), magadiite‐cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide‐5‐Fluorouracil (MAG‐CTAB/5‐FU), and magadiite‐cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide‐Chitosan (MAG‐CTAB‐CS/5‐FU). X‐ray diffraction(XRD, Flourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results were shown that 5‐Fluorouracil was combined with carrier materials through physical apparent adsorption, ion exchange, chemical bond, hydrogen bond, and electrostatic interaction.
