Chitosan-sodium lauryl sulfate/Eudragit S100 beads loaded with 5-fluorouracil: Influence of solvent and duration of crosslinking the crosslinking on physicochemical properties

Chitosan beads loaded with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) were prepared by ionotropic gelation using sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) as a crosslinking agent in presences of Eudragit S100. The objective was to improve the loading and sustained release of 5-FU. The influence of the solvent system, counter ion conc...
