A Disulfiram-loaded Fibers Scaffold Fabricated via Electrospinning Method

In this study, we developed a disulfiram-loaded fibers scaffold via the electrospinning method for enhancing the stability of disulfiram and facilitating the appropriate distribution in tumor tissues. The drug release profile of the disulfiram-loaded fibers scaffold was examined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The results showed that both the initial burst release and the subsequent sustainable release of the drug were suitable for cancer treatments. The results of an MTT assay, which tested the therapeutic efficacy of electrospun fibers in vitro, showed that the DSF-PVDF fibers exhibited their anticancer activity due to the incorporation of DSF. It indicates that DSF is successfully incorporated into the electrospun fibers and the resultant electrospun fibers are highly promising for cancer treatments.
