Síntese, Caracterização e Liberação de Troxerutina por SBA-n/MCM-41/Argila Montmorilonita/Hidrogéis.

Abstract

The ordered mesoporous materials such as MCM-41 and SBA-15, the montmorilonite clay and hydrogels are amongst the most studied and researched excipients used in pharmaceutical technology mainly because dry delivery systems have grown in the past few years due to the economical advantages and to the therapeutic benefits they present. The objective of this work is to synthesize the mesoporous materials SBA-15 and MCM-41 from triblock copolymers and to make a comparative study of troxerutin release with montmorilonite clay and hydrogels. The mesoporous materials were synthesised, calcinated and modified with chitosan and added to troxerutin for characterization by X-ray diffraction, gas adsorption, thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The Montmorilonite clay, the polyacrilamide hydrogels (PAM) and the bentonite (BENPG10), after hydrolysed, were incorporated to the drug, characterized by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction. X-ray studies allowed characterizing the porous synthesized material as belonging to the mesoporous class and that the clay intercalated drug medicine in its lamellae. Infrared spectroscopy studies allowed characterizing the functional groups of the silica network, of chitosan and troxerutin present in the mesopores. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that the decomposition of the structure-directing agentoccurs in the materials at temperatures below 500 ºC. The adsorption of gas makes it evident that there were modifications in the surface area and in the diameter of pores by the presence of the drug and chitosan. The release studies showed that the release rate has different behaviours according to the matrix and the medium used.
