This study aimed to develop a new and effective application form for the liver surface. We designed a two-layered sheet for the controlled release and local disposition of the anticancer drug, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), without leakage into the peritoneal cavity. We employed poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) to form two-layered sheets by attaching a cover sheet and a drug-containing sheet. The prepared two-layered sheets released 5-FU constantly for up to 14 d without any significant leakage from the cover side in vitro. Furthermore, we have applied sheets containing 5-FU to the rat liver surface in vivo. Notably, 5-FU could be detected in the liver attachment region even 28 d after application. The distribution ratio of 5-FU in the attachment region compared to the other liver lobes varied among the sheet formulations with different additive HPC compositions. The area under the liver concentration-time curve (AUC) of 5-FU in the attachment region from 0 to 28 d was the highest in the case of HPC 2% (w/w). This is probably due to the enhanced 5-FU released amount and controlled absorption rate from the liver surface by released HPC. No critical toxic effects were evident by the application of the two-layered sheets from the body weight change and alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase (ALT/AST) activities. Consequently, the possible advantage of the two-layered sheets for prolonged retention of a drug in a specific region in the liver was clarified.
