A thermosensitive, physically cross-linked injectable hydrogel was formulated for the effective and sustained delivery of disulfiram (DSF) to cancer cells as there is no formulation available until now DSF. As we know, hydrogels have an advantage over other drug systems because their unique properties, so proposed formulate system anticancer cells. To investigate surface morphology, a scanning electron microscope study carried out, thermal stability hydrogels, TGA (thermogravimetric...
