Abstract:
Indomethacin was coupled onto some macromolecular nanostructures based on methyl methacrylate copolymers with glycidyl methacrylate and tested as a model drug. The polymeric matrices were synthesized by radical emulsion copolymerization with and without the presence of a continuous external magnetic field of 1500 Gs intensity. Mathematical analysis of the release data was performed using Higuchi, Peppas-Korsmeyer equations. NIR chemical imaging (NIR-CI) was used to provide information about the spatial distribution of the components in the studied nanostructures. This opportunity was used to visualize the spatial distribution of bioactive substances (indomethacin) into the polymeric matrix, as well as to evaluate the degree of chemical and/or physical heterogeneity of the bioactive samples. The release rate dependence on the synthesis conditions as well as on the chemical compositions of the tested polymeric systems, it was also evidenced.
