In this study, we aimed to develop new membranes based on chitosan (CHIT) and fish scale (ESC). The possibility of using the uncrosslinked membranes (ESC/CHIT) and sodium tetraborate-crosslinked membranes (ESC/CHIT-B) for tetracycline (TCC) and doxocicline (DOX) release was investigated. The drugs releases were studied at 30 and 37º C in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4). The ESC/QUIT membranes released lower amounts of the drugs for shorter intervals of time in relation to ESC/QUIT-B. The in vitro releases profiles of TCC and DOX from synthesized membranes were all well fitted to the Peppas model. The releases of DOX from the crosslinked and the uncrosslinked membranes were regarded to a coupled diffusion/ polymer relaxation mechanism. This mechanism was also responsible for the release of TCC from ESC/QUIT, whereas polymer relaxation alone controlled the release of TCC from ESC/CHIT-B. The results suggest that the synthesized membranes are promising for application in drug delivery systems
