- This work presents our attempts to characterize release of two model drugs from electrospun polymer nanofibers. Such drug delivery system offers great potential for applications in medicine especially as neurosurgery protective membranes. Proper delivery of drugs requires precise control of the drug diffusion process during the release for days or even weeks. Lipophilic model drug Rhodamine B and hydrophilic Bovine Serum Albumin conjugated with Fluoresceine (BSA-FITC) were embedded in electrospun poly(L-lactide-co-e-caprolactone) (PLC) nanofibers. Release of Rhodamine B showed saturation in cumulative release profile at 60% and 86% for 1.5% and 3% wt. initial drug content, respectively. Nanofibers electrospun from emulsion released almost entire drug encapsulated in water vesicles inside the nanofibers. Possible location of vesicles close to the surface of the nanofibers exposed them for surrounding fluid and caused leaching of the drug. In this case encapsulation of drug in emulsion prevented the initial burst release. Dependence of a drug release and composition of nanofiber is essential for production of drug delivery systems. Mathematical model constructed with this data allows to avoid tedious experimental work.
