Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Recently, electrospun materials have been extensively applied in the drug delivery system.
OBJECTIVE: To overview the application prospect of electrospun materials in drug delivery systems.
METHODS: A computer-based search of PubMed and NCBI databases was performed for literatures about the research progress of electrospinning in tissue engineering and chemotherapy published within the past 10 years using the keywords of “electrospinning, drug delivery system, nanofibers, electrospun materials”.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with traditional materials, electrospun stents hold good versatility and controllable parameters, thus granting its unique advantage under various physiological conditions. Current drug-loaded materials composed of natural products, synthetic polymers and blended materials; as to drugs, there are antibiotics, chemotherapy medication, DNA and protein. Electrospun materials have been used in tissue engineering, cancer chemotherapy and wound healing. We focus on not only the application progress of electrospun materials in traditional treatments, but also its usage, condition-controlled drug release and living-cell carrying. Electrospun materials combined with various drug-loaded present a broad prospect.
