The invention discloses a
pemetrexed-containing sustained-release
implant and application thereof. The sustained-release
implant is prepared from the following substances in percentage by weight: 5 to 60 percent of
pemetrexed or
pemetrexed sodium salt and 40 to 95 percent of sustained-release auxiliary materials. The preparation method has the beneficial effects that the degradable
polymer auxiliary material is used as a dispersion matrix, the stability of
medicine quality is ensured, the release period is prolonged, the release behavior is improved, no obvious sudden release or delayed release exists in in-vitro release,
continuous production can be realized by adopting a
solid-
solid mixed hot-
melt extrusion method, the production efficiency of the
implant is remarkably improved, the production cost is reduced, and the preparation method is suitable for industrial production. The industrialization is easy; no
solvent participates in the preparation process, no
solvent residue exists, and the safety is high; the
medicine is dispersed uniformly and released controllably; the preparation is safe and reliable in quality and more beneficial to clinical application.
