pH-responsive hydrogels based on alginic acid grafted with acrylic acid and ethylene glycol dimethylacrylate in the presence of ammonium persulfate were developed for controlled delivery of Ketorolac tromethamine. The alginic acid based hydrogels were prepared by free radical polymerization technique. Increase in gel fraction was observed with the increase in alginic acid, acrylic acid, and ethylene glycol dimethylacrylate content. The dynamic swelling and drug release studies were conducted at two different pH values (pH 1.2 and 7.4). Maximum swelling and drug release were observed at pH 7.4. The characterization of prepared hydrogels was carried out by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, powder x-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Similarly, in-vivo study was performed on rabbits and greater plasma drug concentration was achieved by fabricated hydrogels as compared to drug solution and commercial product Keten. Conclusively, the fabricated hydrogels can be considered as a potential candidate for controlled delivery of Ketorolac tromethamine. |
