Intercalation of PM-19 into and in vitro Release of Anti-tumor Drug from Layered Double Hydroxide

Introduction Recently, controlled release of drugs and gene delivery technology have received considerable attention due to their numerous advantages including prolonged duration of action of an active agent, improved efficacy, reduced toxicity and convenience compared to the conventional dosage forms[1]. In this field typical systems are polymer delivery systems depending on the hydrolysis-induced degradation, swelling and erosion of carriers′ structures[1, 2], mesoporous silica carrier systems relying on capturing and releasing the CdS nanoparticles[3], and layered materials release systems based on ion-exchange principle[4].     

Intercalation of an oxalatooxoniobate complex into layered double hydroxide and layered zinc hydroxide nitrate

A Zn/Al layered double hydroxide with molar ratio of 3 was prepared by coprecipitation in alkaline pH and used as a matrix to intercalate the ionic complex diaquadioxalatooxoniobate(V) (DDON), derived from NH₄[NbO(C₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂]2H₂O. In a similar way, the layered zinc hydroxide nitrate, Zn₅(OH)₈(NO₃)₂2H₂O, was synthesized, preexpanded with azelate ions (⁻OOC(CH₂)₇COO⁻), and then intercalated with the niobium complex. For both layered matrices, the results from X-ray powder diffractometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermal analysis (TG/s-DTA) indicate the presence of the oxalate ion. In addition, results from X-ray photoelectron and Raman spectroscopy indicate the presence of the niobium center bonded to oxygen atoms. Finally, diffuse reflectance UV–vis spectroscopy suggests that the niobium centers are coordinated to oxalate ions. This is the first report of the intercalation of niobium into a layered matrix.     

Intercalation assembly of kojic acid into Zn-Ti layered double hydroxide with antibacterial and whitening performances

The inhibitor of melanin and the bacteriostatic agent kojic acid was inserted into Zn-Ti layered double hydroxide (LDH) by anion-exchange reaction. The structure, slow release, antibacterial and skin whitening activity were studied.     

Intercalation behavior of amino acids into Zn-Al-layered double hydroxide by calcination-rehydration reaction

The intercalation of amino acids for the Zn-Al-layered double hydroxide (LDH) has been investigated by the calcination-rehydration reaction at 298 K using mainly phenylalanine (Phe) as a guest amino acid. The Zn-Al oxide precursor prepared by the calcination of Zn-Al-carbonated LDH at 773 K for 2 h was used as the host material. The amount of Phe intercalated by the rehydration was remarkably influenced by the initial solution pH and reached ca. 2.7 times for anion exchange capacity (AEC) of the LDH at neutral and weak alkaline solutions, suggesting that Phe was intercalated as amphoteric ion form into the LDH interlayer. As Phe is intercalated for the LDH as monovalent anion in alkaline solution, the amount of Phe intercalated at pH 10.5 corresponded with AEC of the LDH. The solid products were found to have the expanded LDH structure, which confirmed that Phe was intercalated into the LDH interlayer as amphoteric ion or anion form. The basal spacing, d₀₀₃, of the Phe/LDH was 1.58 nm at pH 7.0 and 0.80 nm at pH 10.5; two kinds of expansion suggested for Phe in the interlayer space as vertical (pH 7.0) and horizontal (pH 10.5) orientations. The intercalation behavior of various amino acids for the LDH was also found to be greatly influenced by the feature of the amino acid side-chain, namely, its carbon-chain length, structure and physicochemical property. In particular, α-amino acids possessing a hydrophobic or negative-charged side-chain were preferentially intercalated for the LDH.     

Synthesis and properties of Mg2Al layered double hydroxides containing 5-fluorouracil

A pharmaceutically active compound, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) has been firstly intercalated into layered double hydroxide with the restructure method. Powder X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic analysis indicate that 5-FU molecule is stabilized in the host interlayer by electrostatic interaction and intermolecular interaction, and that the orientation of 5-FU is different when changing the pattern of aging treatment or the swelling agent. The release studies show that a rapid release of the drug during the first 40 min is followed by a more sustained one, and that the total amount of drug released from hybrid material into the aqueous solution is almost 87% and 74% at pH 4 and 7, respectively. The studies mentioned above suggest that layered double hydroxide might be used as the basis of a tunable drug delivery carrier.     

Synthesis and characterization of layered double hydroxides (LDH) intercalated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with the hydrotalcite type structure and a Mg:Al ratio of two have been prepared, with salicylate or naproxen in the interlayer. Two synthetic routes have been used: reconstruction from a mildly calcined hydrotalcite-CO₃ precursor, and a coprecipitation method with chlorides of the metals. The solids have been characterized using several physicochemical techniques, i.e., powder X-ray diffraction, FTIR and ¹³C CP/MAS NMR spectroscopies and thermal analysis (thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses). The gallery height determined is in all cases larger than the size of the drug, 11.5 Å for salicylate and 15.8 and 16.6 Å for naproxen, depending on the specific synthesis route followed. Experimental data suggest the anion molecules form a tilted bilayer, with the carboxylate groups pointing towards the brucite-like layers. The solids are stable up to 230 °C and their evolution from 350 °C upwards is very similar to that observed for a carbonate-containing hydrotalcite, forming mostly amorphous solids with a large specific surface area.     

Effects of intercalated hydrotalcite on drug release behavior for poly(acrylic acid-co-N-isopropyl acrylamide)/intercalated hydrotalcite hydrogels

The influence of positively charged intercalated hydrotalcite (IHT) in the anionic poly(acrylic acid-co-N-isopropyl acrylamide), poly(AA-co-NIPAAm)/hydrotalcite nanocomposite hydrogels on the drug release behavior for the drugs with different charges was investigated in this study. Results show that the loading amount and release ratio of indomethacin are affected by the swelling ratio in saline solution and related to the affinity in the alcohol solution, respectively. The loading amount and release ratio of caffeine are affected by the swelling ratio. The loading amount of crystal violet (CV) increased with an increase of the content of intercalating agent in IHT of the gel but the fractional release of CV in the gels decreases with increase in intercalating agent content. The result of release and loading for phenol red in the hydrogels is contrary to CV.     

Layered Double Hydroxides as the Unique Product of Target Ionic Construction for Energy,Chemical, Foods,Cosmetics, Medicine and Ecology Applications

Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH) is an α-modification of the M-host (M²⁺) hydroxide, in which some part of the M-host cations is replaced by M-guest cations (M³⁺ or M⁴⁺). The emerging excess positive charge is compensated by the intercalation of anions into the interlayer space, which also contains water molecules. LDHs exhibit anion exchange properties. Targeted ionic design of LDHs via combining three components (M-host, M-guest cations, intercalated anions) allows the creation of a very wide range of highly efficient electrochemical, electrocatalytic, electrochromic substances, catalysts, ion exchangers, sorbents, color pigments, pharmacological drugs, food, and cosmetic additives. In this review, the structure and areas of application of LDHs are considered from the perspective of the targeted ionic design of a substance for a specific application.     

Separation of nucleoside monophosphates using preferential anion exchange intercalation in layered double hydroxides

We report the first example of selective intercalation of nucleoside monophosphates in a layered host material. The intercalated nucleoside monophosphates can then be quantitatively recovered from the inorganic host and so this opens up the possibility of using simple layered inorganic hosts as rapid, cost effective and recyclable materials for the purification and separation of complex biomolecules.     

Fabrication of intercalated p-aminobenzoic acid into Zn-Ti layered double hydroxide and its application as UV absorbent

An organic ultraviolet (UV) ray absorbent, p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) was intercalated into a Zn-Ti layered double hydroxide (LDH) precursor by an anion-exchange reaction to obtain ZnTi-PABA-LDH, a new organic-inorganic nanocomposite. The structure and the thermal stability of ZnTi-PABA-LDH were characterized by XRD, FT-IR and TG-DTA. The results indicate ZnTi-PABA-LDH, synthesized by this method, exhibit relatively high crystallinity, and markedly enhanced thermal stability of PABA after intercalation into ZnTi-LDH. The UV-vis-NIR spectrophotometric and ESR data show excellent UV ray resistance and greatly decreased photocatalytic activity when PABA is intercalated into the interlayers of the ZnTi-LDH. The studies suggest that ZnTi-PABA-LDH may have potential applications as safe sunscreen materials.     

Exfoliation of layered double hydroxide in polystyrene by in-situ atom transfer radical polymerization using initiator-modified precursor

Exfoliated nanocomposite, based on Zn, Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) and polystyrene (PS), has been achieved by in-situ atom transfer radical polymerization reaction from initiator-modified LDH. The exfoliated structure is characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electronic microscope. The results suggest that the exfoliated ZnAl(DS) LDH sheets with a thickness of less than 1 nm disperse individually in the PS matrix, and the thermal stability of the nanocomposite shows a marked improvement. When the 50 wt% weight loss is selected as a comparison point, the decomposition temperature of PS/LDH nanocomposite is about 45 °C higher than that of pure PS.

Colloidal magnesium aluminum hydroxide and heterocoagulation with a clay mineral. I. Properties of colloidal magnesium aluminum hydroxide

Magnesium aluminum hydroxide, the most important member of layered double hydroxides, was peptized by intense washing. The particle diameter, 70–130 nm, depended on the temperature of aging the parent material. The electrophoretic mobility of the particles decreased with increasing pH, from 3.7 × 10⁻⁸ m²/Vs at pH 5 to 0.5 × 10⁻⁸ m²/Vs at pH 12.3. An isoelectric point at pH∼7 was reached with the addition of 87 mmol/l NaSCN, 3 mmol/l Na₂SO₄ and Na₂CO₃, and 0.7 mmol/l Na₂HPO₄. The critical coagulation concentration for the 2% (w/w) dispersion was 88 mmol/l NaCl, 1.8 mmol/l Na₂CO₃, 1.4 mmol/l Na₂SO₄, and 1.2 mmol/l Na₂HPO₄ at pH∼7. The 2% dispersion at pH∼7 showed an almost Newtonian flow behavior. Yield values were developed after salt addition. The 2% dispersion reached a yield value of 2 Pa at 100 mmol/l NaCl, 3 Pa at 100 mmol/l Na₂SO₄, and 5 Pa at 100 mmol/l Na₂CO₃. Sodium phosphate in comparison with the other salts showed a liquefying effect. The yield value increased to 3 Pa at 1–10 mmol/l Na₂HPO₄ and decreased to 0.5 Pa at 100 mmol/l Na₂HPO₄.

Synthesis of Ni／Mg／Al Layered Double Hydroxides and Their Use as Catalyst Precursors in the Preparation of Carbon Nanotubes

Ni/Mg/Al layered double hydroxides(LDHs) with different n(Ni) : n(Mg) : n(Al) ratio values were prepared via a coprecipitation reaction. Then Ni/Mg/Al mixed oxides were obtained by calcination of these LDHs precursors. Carbon nanotubes were produced in the catalytic decomposition of propane over the Ni/Mg/Al mixed oxide catalysts. The quality of as-made nanotubes was investigated by SEM and TEM. The nanotubes were multiwall with a high length-diameter ratio and appeared to be flexible. The catalytic activities of these mixed oxides increased with increasing the Ni content. The Ni/Mg/Al mixed oxide with the highest Ni content [ n( Ni)/n( Mg)/n(Al) = 1/1/1 ] showed the highest activity and the carbon nanotubes grown on its surface had the best quality.

Synthesis and controlled release properties of β-naphthoxyacetic acid intercalated Mg–Al layered double hydroxides nanohybrids

Controlled release formulations have been proven to have potential in overcoming the drawbacks of conventional plant growth regulators. Novel controlled-release formulation of β-naphthoxyacetic acid (BNOA) intercalated MgAl-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) was prepared by co-precipitation method. The effects of temperature, pH value, and release medium on BNOA release were studied and the releasing mechanisms were discussed. The results of release show that the increase of temperature induces the increase of BNOA release extent. The release rate and accumulated release amount of BNOA are found to be dependent to the anion in the aqueous solution in the order of CO₃²⁻ > SO₄²⁻ > Cl⁻. Moreover, the pH is the key controlling factor for the BNOA release processes, and with strong acid medium, the release character of BNOA is different from those at pH 7 and 12, which accompanies with fast collapse of LDHs nanolayered structure. The nanohybrid of BNOA intercalated LDHs possessed good controlled release properties and the BNOA release character from the nanohybrid fitted pseudo-second-order model in neutral medium.     

Thermal, solution and reductive decomposition of Cu-Al layered double hydroxides into oxide products

Cu-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with [Cu]/[Al] ratio 2 adopt a structure with monoclinic symmetry while that with the ratio 0.25 adopt a structure with orthorhombic symmetry. The poor thermodynamic stability of the Cu-Al LDHs is due in part to the low enthalpies of formation of Cu(OH)₂ and CuCO₃ and in part to the higher solubility of the LDH. Consequently, the Cu-Al LDH can be decomposed thermally (150 °C), hydrothermally (150 °C) and reductively (ascorbic acid, ambient temperature) to yield a variety of oxide products. Thermal decomposition at low (400 °C) temperature yields an X-ray amorphous residue, which reconstructs back to the LDH on soaking in water or standing in the ambient. Solution decomposition under hydrothermal conditions yields tenorite at 150 °C itself. Reductive decomposition yields a composite of Cu₂O and Al(OH)₃, which on alkali-leaching of the latter, leads to the formation of fine particles of Cu₂O (<1 μm).     

Studies on the intercalation of naproxen into layered double hydroxide and its thermal decomposition by in situ FT-IR and in situ HT-XRD

Layered double hydroxides, novel anionic clay, meet the first requirement as inorganic matrices for encapsulating functional drugs or biomolecules with negative charge in aqueous media. In this study, naproxen has been intercalated into Mg-Al layered double hydroxide by the methods of ion exchange. The structure and composition of the intercalated material have been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy. A schematic model has been proposed. Furthermore, in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, in situ high-temperature XRD, and thermogravimetry (TG) have been used to characterize the thermal decomposition of the hybrid material. It has been found that the thermal stability of the intercalated naproxen is significantly enhanced compared with the pure form before intercalation, which suggests that this drug-inorganic layered material may have prospective application as the basis of a novel drug delivery system.
