摘要

The aim of the present work is fabrication of dual cross linked sodium alginate(SA)/montmorillonite(MMT)microbeads as a potential drug vehicle for extended release of curcumin(CUR).The microbeads were prepared using in situ ion-exchange followed by simple ionotropic gelation technique.The developed beads were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),differential scanning calorimetry(DSC),thermogravimetric analysis(TGA),X-ray diffraction(X-RD)and scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The effect of MMT on encapsulation efficiency of CUR and intercalation ki-netics was investigated.Dynamic swelling study and in vitro release study were investigated in simu-lated intestinal fluid(pH 7.4)and simulated gastric fluid(pH 1.2)at 37℃.Results suggested that both the swelling and in vitro release studies were influenced by the pH of test media,which might be suitable for intestinal drug delivery.The release mechanism was analyzed by fitting the release data into Korsmeyer-Peppas equation.
