Drug forms based polymer carriers of prolong action were created for toxicologic effect of drug to be reduced in spite of long treatment of diseases. In present work a number of synthesis and natural polymers have been studied as carriers of antituberculous drugs for controlled delivery application. Following as drugs as isoniazid and ethionamide were incorporated into polymeric matrix (segmented polyurethanes, polyvinyl alcohol) and chemically bound with the polymer chain by covalent or electrostatic forces (aldehyde‐ and carboxymethylderivatives of polysaccharides). Biodegradation of polymeric systems and the release of drugs were studied by various physico‐chemical methods. It was shown that the drug release depends of method of the immobilization, type of the drug/polymer bonding, drug loading. The bacteriostatic activity of obtained systems was determined. The possibility of tuberculosis treatment was proved in experiments of animals.

Supermolecular structure of drug delivery system on the basis of segmented polyurethane (SPU) has been determined to control the release of anticancer drug, cyclophosphamide (CPh). It has been established that the phase separation in SPU is essentially intensified by means of both the increase of molecular weight for SPU's soft segments and CPh incorporation in the monolithic systems of polyethylene glycol-based polyurethane. Infrared and proton NMR data indicate that CPh is hydrogenicly associated with a urethane group of hard segments. It has been determined that the drug-concentrated domains of hard segments are microheterogeneously dispersed in the amorphous soft segments. These results indicate that a supermolecular structure design of SPU allows for control of the CPh release from the polymer matrix. Medicalbiological tests of the prepared polyurethane device have shown reduced toxic action of the cytostatic drug compared with injections.
