Oral chemotherapy can be used as adjuvant, neo-adjuvant, or primary therapy. Nonetheless, oral cancer chemotherapeutics may experience premature drug release at the upper gastrointestinal tract due to the availability of a large specific dissolution surface area of nanoparticles leading to failure in colon cancer targeting. This study designed soft microagglomerates as carrier of nanoparticles to delay drug release. High molecular weight chitosan/pectin with covalent 5-fluorouracil/folate was processed into nanoparticles. Low molecular weight chitosan was spray-dried into nanoparticle aggregation vehicle. The soft agglomerates were produced by blending of nanoparticles and aggregation vehicle in specific weight ratios through vortex method. Adding aggregation vehicle promoted soft agglomeration with nanoparticles deposited onto its surfaces with minimal binary coalescence. Soft agglomerates prepared from 10:18 weight ratio of nanoparticles to nanoparticle aggregation vehicle using 1% chitosan solution concentration reduced the propensity of premature drug release of nanoparticles in the upper gastrointestinal region. Soft agglomerates reduced early drug release of cancer chemotherapeutics and was responsive to intracapsular sodium alginate coat to further sustain drug release. The soft microagglomerates are a viable dosage form in colon-specific drug delivery. Further study will focus on investigating intracapsular-coated soft agglomerates in vivo pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics behaviours with respect to local colorectal cancer.","PeriodicalId":155639,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Congress of Engineering Sciences and Technology","volume":"298 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117052757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
