Mathematical models describing release rates of 5-fluorouracil and progesterone from the hollow nanoaggregates1416

Model Equation
Zero order C=K0t
First order LogC=LogC0-Kt/2.303
Hixson-Crowell Q01/3-Qt1/3=Kt
Higuchi Q=Kt0.5
Peppas Q=ktn
Modified Peppas Q=atn+b
Weibull Q=1-exp(-atb)
Lonsdale and Baker 23(1-{1-Q100}23)-{Q100}=Kt

Notes: where C is the concentration of drug released, C0 is the initial concentration of drug, K is the release rate constant in units of concentration/time, Q is the amount of drug released in time t, Q0 is the initial amount of drug loaded into the nanoaggregates, and the release index is symbolized as n.
