XANTHAN GUM GRAFT COPOLYMER / SODIUM ALGINATE MICRO BEADS COATED WITH CHITOSAN FOR CONTROLLED RELEASE OF CHLORTHALIDONE DRUG
AbstractIn the present work, temperature/pH-sensitive copolymer beads of chitosan (CS) coated sodium alginate/xanthan gum grafted N, N’-methylenediacrylamide have been synthesized by free radical polymerization in an atmosphere of nitrogen using AIBN/Fe2+ redox pair initiator and Tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) as a catalyst followed by simple ionotropic gelation technique. These beads were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) Energy-dispersive X-ray spectra (EDS) and X-ray diffraction measurements (X-RD). DSC and X-RD studies reveal the molecular dispersion of Chlorthalidone (CT) drugs. Swelling and drug release behaviors of these beads were investigated in simulated intestinal fluid (pH 7.4) and gastric fluid (pH 2.0) at 37 ºC. Results illustrated that both the swelling and degradation of the optimized beads were influenced by the pH of the test medium, which might be suitable for intestinal drug delivery. The release mechanism was analyzed by fitting the release data into the Korsmeyer-Peppas equation.
