Abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop the feasibility of using Astragalus polysaccharides to increase the drug-loading capacity of microspheres.APS/5-FU loaded polylactic acid (PLA) microspheres were prepared by solvent evaporation.The structure of the composite microspheres was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FT-IR,and the drug-loading properties of the prepared microspheres (adding APS / 5-FU / PLA,no APS / 5-FU / PLA) were investigated.The results showed that PLA microspheres had higher drug loading,encapsulation efficiency and immunostimulatory activity after the addition of APS.The AFU-loaded 5-FU/PLA microspheres show great potential as a drug carrier for sustained release.

Key words: APS, microspheres, immunostimulatory activity, drug release
