5-Fluorouracil-loaded multilayered films for drug controlled releasing stent application: Drug release, microstructure, and ex vivo permeation behaviors

TL;DR: With the virtue of releasing drug in a unidirectional and controlled manner, the multilayered films provide an attractive mode to produce polymeric drug delivery stents for localized treatment of stenosis or occlusion.

Hybrid films from blends of chitosan and egg phosphatidylcholine for localized delivery of paclitaxel.

TL;DR: FTIR analysis of chitosan-ePC films revealed that their high stability may be attributed to interactions present between these two biomaterials, and in vitro evaluation of the cytotoxicity and protein adsorption properties of the films provided a preliminary indication of their biocompatibility.
