Abstract
The objective of this study was to develop some new hybrid hosts based on dendrimers and montmorillonite designed for 5-Fluorouracil drug encapsulation. The presence of drug within the hosts was pointed out using different methods like FTIR Spectroscopy, X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), UV-Vis Spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction. The UV-Vis results showed that the dendrimer type involved in the hybrid hosts influenced the drug release. Keywords: antitumoral drug, dendrimer, montmorillonite, drug release system
