Clay-biosurfactant materials as functional drug delivery systems: Slowing down effect in the in vitro release of cinnamic acid
2017
Abstract The main objectives of the present paper were the preparation and characterization of new surfactant-modified clays and the evaluation of their potential applicability as drug delivery systems for the oral administration of the cinnamic acid (CA) drug. The organoclays (OC) were prepared by loading different amounts of the biocompatible nonionic polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate surfactant (Tween20) onto K10 montmorillonite (Mt) clay and characterized through the construction of the adsorption isotherms by means of the spectrophotometric method. The performance of the prepared material was verified by gathering the adsorption isotherms of the cinnamic acid onto the Mt/Tween20 org…
