The present study proposes the development and optimization of a new interpenetrating polymer network (IPN), consisting of Gum tragacanth, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), and poly(acrylamide) (PAAm), for the in situ controlled release of losartan potassium under different pH conditions at 37 °C.

In this work the immobilization of hybrid polyoxometalates (POMs) onto functional polymeric surfaces is exposed and discussed. Thus, various hybrid polymer‒inorganic films were prepared by anchoring selected hybrid POMs onto tailored polymeric surfaces that consisted of breath figures (BFs) made of polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic acid)/polystyrene (PS-b-PAA/PS) blends. Functionalization of the BF films was performed by selective arrangement of acrylic acid groups of the amphiphilic block copolymer on the surface pores because of their affinition for the water condensed during breath figure formation. These carboxylic acid functional groups contained within the PAA blocks were then employed to anchor [Cu(cyclam)][{Cu(cyclam)}2(V10O28)]·10H2O (1-CuV10) and [{Cu(cyclam)}(VO3)2]·5H2O (1-CuV1), hybrid POMs by immersing the films into aqueous solutions of the in situ formed hybrid clusters, resulting in the hybrid films BF1 and BF2, respectively. Superficial analysis of these hybrid polymeric films was carried out by the sophisticated ion beam-based technique time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) that was revealed to be an excellent method for the superficial compositional mapping of patterned surfaces.

The deposition and nanostructure of polyelectrolyte (PEL) multilayers (PEMs) of branched poly(ethyleneimine)/poly(acrylic acid) (PEI/PAA) onto silicon substrates was studied in terms of the dependence of pH and the PEL concentration (cPEL) in the individual adsorption steps z. Both a commercial automatic dipping device and a homebuilt automatic stream coating device (flow cell) were used. Gravimetry, SFM, transmission (TRANS) and in situ attenuated total reflection (ATR) FTIR spectroscopy were used for the quantitative determination of the adsorbed amount, thickness, chemical composition and morphology of deposited PEMs, respectively. Firstly, the combination of pH = 10 for PEI and pH = 4 for PAA, where both PEL were predominantly in the neutral state, resulted in an extraordinarily high PEM deposition, while pH combinations, where one PEL component was charged, resulted in a significantly lower PEM deposition. This was attributed to both PEL conformation effects and acid/base interactions between basic PEI and acidic PAA. Secondly, for that pH combination an exponential relationship between PEM thickness and adsorption step z was found. Thirdly, based on the results of three independent methods, the course of the deposited amount of a PEM-10 (z = 10) versus cPEL in the range 0.001 to 0.015 M at pH = 10/4 was non-monotonous showing a pronounced maximum at cPEL = 0.005 M. Analogously, for cPEL = 0.005 M a maximum of roughness and structure size was found. Fourthly, related to that finding, in situ ATR-FTIR measurements gave evidence for the release of outermost located PEI upon PAA immersion (even step) and of outermost PAA upon PEI immersion (odd step) under formation of PEL complexes in solution. These studies help us to prepare PEL-based films with a defined thickness and morphology for interaction with biofluids in the biomedical and food fields.

Objective: This study involves the synthesis of Gum tragacanth (gt) based interpenetrating polymer network (ipn) and its utilization for sustained release of anti-ulcerative drug i.e. pantoprazole sodium. Methods: IPN was synthesized from Gum tragacanth, polyacrylic acid (gt-cl-paa) hydrogel. gt-cl-paa was kept in distilled water. Further, acryamide (aam) and methylmethacrylate (mma) was added and then kept for overnight. Later on, lipase and glutaraldehyde were added. Homopolymers and the unreacted monomers were removed using acetone. Synthesized IPN was dried at 50 °C for further study. Synthesized ipn was swelled in water and the drug was added to it. The drug was entrapped in the pores of the synthesized ipn and then drug release behavior was studied using uv-vis spectrophotometer. Results: Gt, paa and mma based crosslinked IPN were synthesized using lipase-glutaraldehyde as initiator-crosslinker system. The synthesized IPN was pH sensitive and possessed the desired swelling capacity required for the controlled and systematic liberation of pantoprazole sodium at 37 °C. The kinetic of drug release was studied and found that lateral diffusion (DL) of drug was higher as compared to the initial diffusion (DI). The prepared IPN can be used as prospective carrier for prolonged drug delivery. Conclusion: A novel pH sensitive and colon targeted IPN was synthesized. It acts as an effective device for the controlled release of drug pantoprazole sodium.
