Hydrogels are widely utilized in the medical field, and this study introduces a novel alginate-based fiber that can precisely control the release profiles of co-delivered drugs, showing promise for potential applications.
Hydrogels are soft materials consisting of a three-dimensional network of polymer chains. Over the years, hydrogels with different compositions have been developed as drug carriers for diverse biomedical applications, ranging from cancer therapy and wound care to the treatment of neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases. Most of these carriers, however, are designed only to deliver single agents. Carriers based on hydrogels for co-delivery of multiple agents, with the release rate of each of the co-delivered agents tunable, are lacking. This study reports a one-pot method of fabricating alginate-based complex fibers with the Janus morphology, with carboxymethyl cellulose sodium functioning as a polymeric modifier of the properties of each of the fiber compartments. By using malachite green and minocycline hydrochloride as model drugs, the generated fibers demonstrate the capacity of enabling the release profile of each of the co-delivered drugs to be precisely controlled. Along with their negligible toxicity and the retention of the activity of the loaded drugs, the complex fibers reported in this study warrant further development and optimization for applications that involve co-delivery of multiple agents.
