One-pot synthesis of the organomodified layered double hydroxides - glibenclamide biocompatible nanoparticles

In this work, synthesis of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) organomodified LDH Zn2Al carrying glibenclamide (GLIB) was performed in one step and in one-pot to obtain nanoparticles (NP). XRD data showed GLIB adsolubilization (d= 14.03 angstrom) and NP coating with Eudragit L100 (R). In addition, thermal and XRD data showed exfoliated/intercalated nanocomposite for NP S5 (LDH associated with SDS and Eudragit L100 (R)). LDH organophilization and GLIB intercalation reduced surface area (SBET 23.58m2/g) and NP size (469 nm). In addition, the change in zeta potential (-35.5 zeta) relative to pristine LDH (SBET 41.34m(2)/g, 688.8 nm and +14 zeta) indicated that LDH functionalization seems an appropriate approach to produce NP with greater colloidal stability and enhanced functionality. The zinc release data from the LDH matrix (2.96 %+/- 0.002 ppm) showed the effectiveness of the coating in acid medium (pH 1.2) and the release data from GLIB showed the kinetics of release of zero order with release in simulated intestinal medium (pH 7.4) of 88 % and 73 % (24 h) for uncoated and coated NP, respectively. All NP were considered biocompatible in the WST-1 assay on BALB 3T3 fibroblast strains making these NP promising therapeutically.
