Synthesis, characterization and sustaining controlled release effect of mesoporous SBA-15/ramipril composite drug

A loading of ramipril in SBA-15 (Santa Barbara Amorphous) mesoporous material was studied. (SBA-15)-ramipril composite material was characterized by chemical analysis, infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, low temperature N₂ adsorption–desorption at 77 K characterization techniques. Ramipril drug release processes from SBA-15 host to simulated body fluid (SBF), simulated gastric juice (SGJ), simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) were monitored in a simulated way and actions of the sustained release of (SBA-15)-ramipril was studied. The results showed that the loading amount of ramipril drug in SBA-15 was 90.30 mg/g. The cumulative sustained release rate of ramipril composite drug in SBF achieved 99.7 % after 27 h. When the sustained release of composite drug in SGJ was 8 h, the maximum cumulative sustained release ratio achieved 54.9 %. When the sustained release of composite drug was 9 h in SIF, the maximum cumulative sustained release ratio achieved 34.9 %. The method described in this study is suitable for carrying ramipril drug on SBA-15, and a new carrier to load ramipril drug was found. Meanwhile, the efficacy of ramipril drug and time efficacy could be improved.     

Immobilization and sustained release of cefalexin on MCF nano-mesoporous material

Abstract

Mesocellular foams (MCF) silica nanometer mesoporous molecular sieve was successfully synthesized by hydrothermal route. This method used poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(propyl glycol)-block-poly(ethylene glycol) as template, tetraethyl orthosilicate as silica source and 1, 3, 5-trimethylbenzene as pore-expanding agent to prepare nano mesoporous MCF in acidic medium. The MCF mesoporous material was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, low temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption at 77?K, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effects of pH, temperature, adsorbent dosage, cefalexin dosage and contact time on the immobilization of cefalexin were studied. Under the optimized conditions, MCF has the best effect on the drug immobilization. The maximum immobilization amount of cefalexin in MCF nano-mesoporous material is 498.8?mg/g. The behavior of adsorption of cefalexin by MCF belongs to multilayer heterogeneous adsorption, which accords with the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. In the adsorption process, all the ΔH⁰, ΔS⁰ and Gibbs free energy change ΔG⁰ are less than zero, indicating that the adsorption process is spontaneous, exothermic entropy decreasing reaction at ordinary temperature. Kinetic investigation showed that the adsorption process of cefalexin on MCF belongs to the pseudo-second-order kinetic process. The release laws of composite material cephalexin-MCF in the simulated body fluid, gastric and intestinal fluid were investigated, respectively. The maximum cumulative release rate in simulated body fluid was 99.4% at 18?h. The maximum cumulative release rate in the simulated gastric juice was 48.7% at 6?h and in the simulated intestinal fluid the maximum cumulative release rate of 61.9% was achieved at 8?h. These release processes satisfy the zero-order ordered kinetic process.     

Preparation and characterization of (SBA-15)-La2O3 host-guest composite materials

Lanthanum oxide was successfully incorporated into an SBA-15 mesoporous molecular sieve via the microwave-assisted synthesis method (MASM) for the first time, and was compared with liquid-phase grafting and thermal diffusion methods. A series of characterizations were used to characterize the prepared materials. The results showed that the preparation of (SBA-15)-La₂O₃ host-guest composite materials by MASM has the advantages of simpler operation, higher efficiency and more plentiful lanthanum oxide could be incorporated into SBA-15 compared with other methods. In the prepared host-guest (SBA-15)-La₂O₃ materials, the frameworks of the host molecular sieve were kept intact, their structures were still kept high ordered and the guest lanthanum oxide locates inside the pores of the SBA-15. The sizes of the prepared (SBA-15)-La₂O₃ samples were 340-357 nm. The prepared host-guest composite materials show the properties of luminescence, and the luminescent intensities are about 2 times of bulk La₂O₃.

Luminescence functionalization of SBA-15 by YVO4:Eu3+ as a novel drug delivery system

Luminescence functionalization of the ordered mesoporous SBA-15 silica was realized by depositing a YVO4:Eu3+ phosphor layer on its surface via the Pechini sol-gel process, resulting in the formation of the YVO4:Eu3+@SBA-15 composite material. This material, which combines the mesoporous structure of SBA-15 and the strong red luminescence property of YVO4:Eu3+, can be used as a novel functional drug delivery system. The structure, morphology, porosity, and optical properties of the materials were well characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, N2 adsorption, and photoluminescence spectra. As expected, the pore volume, surface area, and pore size of SBA-15 decrease in sequence after deposition of the YVO4:Eu3+ layer and the adsorption of ibuprofen (IBU, drug). The IBU-loaded YVO4:Eu3+@SBA-15 system still shows the red emission of Eu3+ (617 nm, 5D0-7F2) under UV irradiation and the controlled drug release property. Additionally, the emission intensity of Eu3+ increases with an increase in the cumulative released amount of IBU in the system, making the extent of drug release easily identifiable, trackable, and monitorable by the change of luminescence. The system has great potential in the drug delivery and disease therapy fields.     

NSAID naproxen in mesoporous matrix MCM-41: drug uptake and release properties

Hexagonally ordered mesoporous silica material MCM-41 (S_BET?=?1090?m²/g, pore size?=?31.2 ?) was synthesized and modified by 3-aminopropyl ligands. The differences in an uptake and subsequent release of anti-inflammatory drug naproxen from unmodified and amino modified MCM-41 samples were studied. The prepared materials were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen adsorption/desorption, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), thermoanalytical methods (TG/DTA) and elemental analysis. The amount of the drug released was monitored with thin layer chromatography (TLC) with densitometric detection in defined time intervals. The amounts of the released naproxen from mesoporous silica MCM-41/napro and amine-modified silica sample A-MCM-41/napro were 95 and 90% of naproxen after 72?h. In this study we compare the differences of release profiles from mesoporous silica MCM-41 and mesoporous silica SBA-15.     

5-氟尿嘧啶在pH敏感型分子筛控释载体中的缓释行为

以肠溶性的羟丙基甲基纤维素邻苯二甲酸酯(HPMCP)作为包覆材料,制备了HPMCP包覆的SBA-15介孔分子筛药物控释载体(HPMCP/SBA-15),并考察了抗癌药物5-氟尿嘧啶(5-Fu)负载于控释载体后,在不同pH释放环境中的释放行为.结果表明,在模拟胃液中(pH=1.2),HPMCP能明显地延缓5-Fu的释放速度;药物释放4h后,其释放率仅为15%.而在模拟肠液中(pH=7.5)HPMCP迅速溶解,对5-Fu释放速度的影响甚微;药物释放4h后,释放率可达到80%.与此同时,包覆膜的干燥温度影响5-Fu的释放行为,干燥温度越高,药物在模拟胃液中的释放速度越慢.     

Modified SBA-15 as the carrier for metoprolol and papaverine: Adsorption and release study

A series of modified SBA-15 materials were applied in drug delivery systems. The internal surface of siliceous hexagonal structure of SBA-15 was modified with different amount of (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) and oxidized in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The sulfonated material was loaded with metoprolol tartrate or papaverine hydrochloride. Both drugs indicated strong chemical interaction with modified mesoporous surface. The characteristic of the obtained materials was performed with XRD and DRUV-vis spectrometry, themogravimetry and nitrogen adsorption (BET) measurements. The obtained results show that modification of the mesoporous materials leads towards significant decrease of the drug delivery rate.     

Submicron particles of SBA-15 modified with MgO as carriers for controlled drug delivery

Submicron particles with modified surface were synthesized by a simple one-pot synthesis approach and used as drug carrier for controlled release. Due to the alkalinity of MgO species on the surface, the amount of a model drug, ibuprofen, adsorbed on the modified surface was increased as compared to pure silica SBA-15 although the surface area was decreased by the surface modification. FTIR investigation indicated that the adsorption state of ibuprofen on MgO modified SBA-15 was different from that on pure silica SBA-15 and pure crystal ibuprofen. The result obtained from in vitro release test exhibited that the surface modification greatly decreased the ibuprofen release rate. In first 6 h in vitro release test, only 63% of the adsorbed ibuprofen was released from the MgO/SBA-15 (Si/Mg=20). In contrast, the release of ibuprofen was complete in 1 h from the pure silica SBA-15 under the same release conditions. The surface modified with MgO created affinity with acidic ibuprofen molecules and retarded the release rate from the mesoporous matrix. In addition, the release rate of ibuprofen could be modulated by varying the content of MgO, and was found to decrease with increasing amount of MgO on surface of SBA-15 submicron particles.     

Preparation,characterization, and luminescence of (SBA-15) immobilized pepsin

SBA-15 mesoporous silica was synthesized by hydrothermal method and its surface was methylated by treatment with methyltrimethoxysilane. Pepsin was immobilized on the obtained materials giving host-guest composite materials (SBA-15)-pepsin and (methylated SBA-15)-pepsin. The optimum conditions for preparation of these materials were established. Methylated SBA-15 (M-SBA-15) has improved immobilization efficiency of enzyme compared to initial SBA-15 silica. It was shown that with the gradual increase of NaCl solution ionic strength the immobilized amount of enzyme was reduced. Powder X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the host frameworks in the prepared host-guest composite materials are intact and the ordered structure was retained. Scanning electron microscopic studies revealed fibrous morphologic characteristics of the SBA-15 and the immobilized pepsin composite materials. The average particle diameter of (SBA-15)-pepsin composite was 338 ± 10 and 343 ± 10 nm for (M-SBA-15)-pepsin. The low temperature N₂ adsorption-desorption study at 77 K showed that the pore sizes and specific surface areas of the host-guest composite materials were smaller than those before the introduction of the enzyme, suggesting that the immobilized enzyme occupied a definite position in the host material pore channels. The UV-vis solid diffuse reflectance and luminescence studies showed that the enzyme was successfully immobilized on to the host material and that after the immobilization of enzyme on SBA-15 the conformation of pepsin macromolecule has not been changed.     

Molecular organization of hydrophobic molecules and co-adsorbed water in SBA-15 ordered mesoporous silica material

The purpose of this study was to improve our understanding of the molecular organization of hydrophobic guest molecules in the presence of co-adsorbed water inside SBA-15 ordered mesoporous silica material. Understanding this adsorption competition is essential in the development of applications of controlled adsorption and desorption. The poorly water soluble drug compound itraconazole and the fluorescent probe Nile red were selected for the study. The interaction between itraconazole and SBA-15 was investigated using FT-IR, (1)H MAS NMR and (29)Si MAS NMR spectroscopy, by determination of adsorption isotherms and release kinetics in simulated gastric fluid. The distribution and migration of the hydrophobic fluorescent probe Nile red was visualized in situ using confocal fluorescence microscopy. For both molecules, there was a pronounced influence of the co-adsorbed water on adsorption, hydrophobic aggregation and migration in SBA-15 pores. These insights contribute to the development of practical methods for loading ordered mesoporous silica materials with hydrophobic molecules.

Sorptive properties of aluminium ions containing mesoporous silica towards <Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">l</Emphasis>-histidine

The applicability of aluminium-containing mesoporous materials as carriers for l-histidine has been evaluated for the first time. The modified mesoporous silica such as SBA-15 and SBA-16 were synthesised by hydrothermal method and characterised by low-temperature nitrogen sorption, transmission and scanning microscopy, X-ray and laser diffraction methods. The results of these studies confirmed the ordered mesoporous structures of all materials obtained. The modification of mesoporous materials with aluminium ions changed the textural parameters and particle size distribution relative to those in the pristine material. Aluminium-modified SBA-15 exhibited higher release rate of amino acid than the pure material. The opposite phenomenon was observed when l-His was released from pristine and modified SBA-16 materials. The kinetics of amino acid release from all mesoporous materials followed the Korsmeyer–Peppas model. The results proved that the structural parameters of mesoporous materials and the percentage content of aluminium strongly influenced the release rate of l-His.     

Preparation, Characterization and Catalytic Performance of La-SO42-/SBA-15 in Esterification of Acetic Acid with n-Butanol

La-SO42-/SBA-15 was synthesized with various amounts of lanthanum via incipient-wetness impregnation.Characterization was done by X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron micrographs(TEM), nitrogen adsorption,FTIR spectroscopic analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and the total amount of acidity of catalyst was estimated by TPD of NH3. The results indicate that lanthanum has been incorporated into SBA-15 molecular sieve. The prepared materials(La-SO42-/SBA-15) keep the highly ordered mesoporous two-dimensional hexagonal structure and do not change the mesoporous channel structure of the support SBA-15. The catalyst showed best catalytic activity in the synthesis of n-butyl acetate. The optimum conditions of the esterification by orthogonal experiments were studied: the molar ratio of n-butanol to acetic acid 1:1.2, the amount of catalyst 7.5%, reaction time 80 min. The yield of n-butyl acetate could reach 93.2% under the optimum conditions. The catalyst was recyclable, cost effective and environmental friendly.

Physical state of poorly water soluble therapeutic molecules loaded into SBA-15 ordered mesoporous silica carriers: a case study with itraconazole and ibuprofen

The ordered mesoporous silica material SBA-15 was loaded with the model drugs itraconazole and ibuprofen using three different procedures: (i) adsorption from solution, (ii) incipient wetness impregnation, and (iii) heating of a mixture of drug and SBA-15 powder. The location of the drug molecules in the SBA-15 particles and molecular interactions were investigated using nitrogen adsorption, TGA, DSC, DRS UV-vis, and XPS. The in vitro release of hydrophobic model drugs was evaluated in an aqueous environment simulating gastric fluid. The effectiveness of the loading method was found to be strongly compound dependent. Incipient wetness impregnation using a concentrated itraconazole solution in dichloromethane followed by solvent evaporation was most efficient for dispersing itraconazole in SBA-15. The itraconazole molecules were located on the mesopore walls and inside micropores of the mesopore walls. When SBA-15 was loaded by slurrying it in a diluted itraconazole solution from which the solvent was evaporated, the itraconazole molecules ended up in the mesopores that they plugged locally. At a loading of 30 wt %, itraconazole exhibited intermolecular interactions inside the mesopores revealed by UV spectroscopy and endothermic events traced with DSC. The physical mixing of itraconazole and SBA-15 powder followed by heating above the itraconazole melting temperature resulted in formulations in which glassy itraconazole particles were deposited externally on the SBA-15 particles. Loading with ibuprofen was successful with each of the three loading procedures. Ibuprofen preferably is positioned inside the micropores. In vitro release experiments showed fast release kinetics provided the drug molecules were evenly deposited over the mesoporous surface.     

Influence of mesoporous structure type on the controlled delivery of drugs: release of ibuprofen from MCM-48, SBA-15 and functionalized SBA-15

Ordered mesoporous materials exhibit potential features to be used as controlled drug delivery systems, including their wide range of chemical compositions and their outstanding textural and structural properties. Therefore, it is possible to control the drug release kinetics by tailoring such parameters. In this paper, mesoporous materials such as MCM-48 and SBA-15, which present different pore sizes (3.7 and 8.8 nm) and structural characteristics (3D-bicontinuous cubic and 2D-hexagonal, respectively) have been synthesized to evaluate their application as drug delivery system and to determine their influence on release kinetic of ibuprofen. Moreover, a chemical modification of the SBA-15 mesoporous material with octadecyltrimethoxysilane has also been performed to study its influence on the release rate of ibuprofen. The structural characteristics (3D cubic and 2D hexagonal pore system) do not affect the release kinetic profiles of ibuprofen. On the contrary, the pore size affects highly to the release kinetic profiles from first-order kinetic to zero-order kinetic for MCM-48 and SBA-15, respectively. Moreover, the importance of surface functionalization was demonstrate through the very fast delivery of ibuprofen from SBA-15 mesoporous materials functionalized with octadecyl chains.     

Copolymers with fluorescence properties in mesoporous silica SBA-15:Synthesis and characterization

A novel copolymer with fluorescence properties in mesoporous silica SBA-15 was prepared via a combination of surface-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer(RAFT) polymerization and "click" chemistry.A sufficient amount of peroxide groups were introduced into mesoporous silica SBA-15 channel pores and were further used to initiate the RAFT polymerization of styrene and 4-vinylbenzyl azide,resulting in SBA-15 supported polystyrene-co-poly(4-vinylbenzyl azide) copolymer(PS-co-PVBA/SBA-15) hybrid material.The samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),thermogravimetry analysis(TGA),N_2 adsorption-desorption isotherms and X-ray diffraction(XRD),respectively.The results show that the styrene and 4-vinylbenzyl azide had copolymerized inside mesoporous silica SBA-15.Subsequently,Npropargyl-carbazole(PC) was connected to PS-co-PVBA/SBA-15 hybrid material via "click" reaction,resulting in PS-co-PVBC/SBA-15 with carbazole side groups hybrid material.The fluorescence spectrum is dominated by a broad band from 350 nm to 400 nm in narrow region and the maximum peak is 362 nm,indicating the characteristic absorption of the carbazole group of PS-co-PVBC/SBA-15 hybrid material.
