Sulfonamide release from cellulose acetate membranes

Summary

Cellulose acetate membranes were chemically modified by esterification with oxalyl chloride which was used as a hydrolytically labile spacer. Then five sulfonamides were attached to the acyl chloride present on the halfesterified membranes to give drug-polymer conjugates. The rate of the hydrolytic cleavage of the spacer-drug linkage was measured in simulated gastric fluids at 37°±0.5°C by determining the amount of drug released by spectrophotometric analysis. The results showed that in all cases the process followed a zero-order kinetics.
