Enhanced antitumor efficacy through sustained release of 5-fluorouracil from poly(trimethylene carbonate) membranes by Zongheng Wang, Zhipeng Hou, Shuguang Zhang, Shuangyi Ren, Liqun Yang, Qianshi Zhang

“…IntroductionCancer remains one of the deadliest diseases worldwide. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is one of the most commonly used chemotherapeutic agents in clinical practice today, but its effectiveness is often hampered by rapid drug metabolism and systemic toxicity. To address these limitations, the development of novel drug delivery systems for sustained drug release is essential to improve therapeutic outcomes.MethodsThis study aimed to develop a poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) membrane capable of sustained drug release of 5-FU to enhance its antitumor activity. …”
