In vitro and in vivo evaluation of colon cancer targeted epichlorohydrin crosslinked Portulaca-alginate beads

The aim of this study was to formulate a novel dual crosslinked hydrogel bead using Portulaca mucilage for colon-targeted delivery of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and evaluate its safety, specificity and efficacy. The ionotropic gelation technique was employed to prepare the hydrogel beads of Portulaca muc...
