Abstract

This paper presents the characteristics of magnesium aluminium silicate–gentamicin complexes for drug delivery systems. The work describes the results of studies on the successful introduction of gentamicin (an aminoglycoside antibiotic) into the interlayers of smectite clay and examines the possible use of intercalated smectite as a carrier for sustained drug release. Characterisation of magnesium aluminium silicate–gentamicin complexes was carried out by means of X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy with EDX analysis. The possibility of using the gentamicin intercalated smectite as a carrier for sustained release of the drug was investigated during in vitro study, in which the release rate of gentamicin from the smectite clay matrix was monitored based on absorption at 330 nm using a UV–Vis spectrometer and the kinetic of drug release was evaluated based on the zero-order, first-order, Higuchi and Korsmeyer–Peppas models. The results confirmed the efficiency of intercalation and indicate the potential for introducing gentamicin into the interlayer space of montmorillonite. Accordingly, the obtained material may thus be used as a drug carrier in modulated drug delivery systems.
