Abstract

Advanced application of coaxial electrospinning nanofibers in controlled drug release systems has gathered much attention since they have had a tunable structure for tailored release of drugs, including various proteins, growth factors, antibacterial and anticancer agents. The composite polymer poly(l‐lactide‐co‐ε‐caprolactone) (PLCL) blended with gelatin (GE) was used as the shell material to electrospin core–shell nanofibers. Model drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) was encapsulated in the core layers. The morphology and core–shell structure were evaluated by SEM and TEM respectively. The existence of DOX in the inner part of DOX/PLCL/GE nanofibers could be proved by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results. The water contact angle test results indicated that DOX/PLCL/GE nanofibers all possess good hydrophilicity with water contact angles as low as 51.2°. The in vitro release results indicated that the DOX/PLCL/GE nanofibers showed a sustained release profile for 480 h. The fitting results showed that the release kinetics of DOX from nanofibers was consistent with a Ritger–Peppas model, presenting a typical Fickian diffusion mechanism. Overall, the DOX/PLCL/GE core–shell nanofibers showed regulable mechanical properties and could be used as a promising drug release system for drug sustained release and tissue engineering. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Core-shell nanofibers of PLCL and gelatin achieve continuous and stable release of model drug adriamycin within 20 days and avoid in vivo toxicity caused by burst release of DOX in short term.

    “Liu et al. used PLCL and gelatin as matrix materials and mixed them to prepare core-shell nanofibers capable of loading multiple drugs and factors, which could achieve continuous and stable release of model drug adriamycin within 20 days and avoid in vivo toxicity caused by burst release of doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) in the short term [220].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
