ABSTRACT

Although many techniques have been devoted to promote therapeutic purposes of drug carrier systems, however, there are still many challenges in this area. Here, we designed co-loaded delivery systems, composed of curcumin loaded cyclodextrin-graphene oxide core (Cur@CD-GO) and gallic acid loaded chitosan shell nanofibers (Cur-Ga NF), which can promote the therapeutic efficiency of drugs. The synthesized nanofibres were fabricated by electrospinning technique with the coaxial system. Results showed that co-loaded delivery systems (Cur-Ga NF) provide better performance over single drug-loaded NFs (Cur@CD-GO). It was demonstrated that the nanofibers were successfully prepared, and the drugs in the core and sell of nanofibers were released in a controlled and sustained manner. The produced Cur-Ga NF, providing improved anti-cancer activity, antimicrobial activity, antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory outcome as compared to single drug-loaded NFs. Our investigations showed that such co-delivery fiber systems could be employed as a promising nanocarrier for therapeutic applications.
