N2 - To vectorize drug delivery from electrospun-produced scaffolds, we introduce a thin outer drug retention layer produced by electrospinning from activated carbon nanoparticles (ACNs)-enriched polycaprolacton (PCL) suspension. Homogeneous or coaxial fibers filled with ACNs were produced by electrospinning from different PCL-based suspensions. Stable ACN suspensions were selected by sorting through solvents, stabilizers and auxiliary components. The ACN-enriched scaffolds produced were characterized for fiber diameter, porosity, pore size and mechanical properties. The scaffold structure was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that ACNs were mainly coated with a polymer layer for both homogeneous and coaxial fibers. Drug binding and release from the scaffolds were tested using tritium-labeled sirolimus. We showed that the kinetics of sirolimus binding/release by ACN-enriched scaffolds was determined by the fiber composition and differed from that obtained with a free ACN. ACN-enriched scaffolds with coaxial and homogeneous fibers had a biocompatibility close to scaffold-free AC, as was shown by the cultivation of human gingival fibroblasts and umbilical vein cells on scaffolds. The data obtained demonstrated that ACN-enriched scaffolds had good physico-chemical properties and biocompatibility and, thus, could be used as a retaining layer for vectored drug delivery.
