Bacteria are capable of producing a specific type of biopolymer, termed exopolysaccharides (EPSs). EPSs from thermophileGeobacillussp. strain WSUCF1 specifically can be assembled using cost-effective lignocellulosic biomass as the primary carbon substrate in lieu of traditional sugars. 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is an FDA-approved, versatile chemotherapeutic that has yielded high efficacy against colon, rectum, and breast cancers. The present study investigates the feasibility of a 5% 5-fluorouracil film using thermophilic exopolysaccharides as the foundation in conjunction with a simple self-forming method. The drug-loaded film formulation was seen to be highly effective against A375 human malignant melanoma at its current concentration with viability of A375 dropping to 12% after six hours of treatment. A drug release profile revealed a slight burst release before it settled into an extended and maintained release of 5-FU. These initial findings provide evidence for the versatility of thermophilic exopolysaccharides produced from lignocellulosic biomass to act as a chemotherapeutic-delivering device and expand the overall applications of extremophilic EPSs.
