    Abstract:
    This work aimed to fabricate a Cloisite 30B-incorporated carboxymethyl cellulose graft copolymer of acrylic acid and itaconic acid hydrogel (Hyd) via a free radical polymerization method for controlled release of Sunitinib malate anticancer drug. The synthesized samples were characterized by FTIR, XRD, TEM, and SEM-dot mapping analyses. The encapsulation efficiency of Hyd and Hyd/Cloisite 30B (6 wt%) was 81 and 93%, respectively, showing the effectiveness of Cloisite 30B in drug loading. An in vitro drug release study showed that drug release from all samples in a buffer solution with pH 7.4 was higher than in a buffer solution with pH 5.5. During 240 min, the cumulative drug release from Hyd/Cloisite 30B (94.97% at pH 7.4) is lower than Hyd (53.71% at pH 7.4). Also, drug-loaded Hyd/Cloisite 30B (6 wt%) demonstrated better antibacterial activity towards S. Aureus bacteria and E. Coli. High anticancer activity of Hyd/Cloisite 30B against MCF-7 human breast cancer cells was shown by the MTT assay, with a MCF-7 cell viability of 23.82 ± 1.23% after 72-hour incubation. Our results suggest that Hyd/Cloisite 30B could be used as a pH-controlled carrier to deliver anticancer Sunitinib malate.
