    The silk fibroin-chitosan loaded diclofenac sodium microspheres (DS-SF/CS-MS) were prepared with an emulsion crosslinking technique. The loading drug content and encapsulated efficiency of the obtained microspheres were (9.88±0.49)% and (50.35±0.92)%, respectively, with the average diameter was about (26.54±1.39)μm. The release profile of DS-SF/CS-MS was fitting to Higuchi´s equation in PBS pH from 5.8 to 7.4. The plasma concentration versus time curve was coincident with one compartment model and the pharmacokinetics parameters were calculated by 3P97 program. The relative bioavailability of DS-CS-MS is 140.0% comparing to diclofenac sodium, together with SF/CS-MS, was a potential novel sustained-release carrier material with low toxicity due to its novel performance.
