Mathematical Modeling of Concentration Flux in Thermosensitive Biopolymer-assisted Drug Delivery
Abstract: A mathematical model of drug concentration flux across thermosensitive biopolymer with degradable cross-link was developed to predict the effect of the physical configuration and chemical composition of thermosensitive biopolymer on the kinetics of MK2 inhibitor peptide drug release. The overall goal of this research was to efficiently model the 3D drug release kinetics of a controlled drug from a double-shell spherical nanoparticle. The newly developed model would be used to …
