Spectroscopy analysis of chitosan-glibenclamide hydrogels

The structure of glibenclamide, 5-chloro-N-(2-{4-[(cyclohexylamino)carbonyl] aminosulfonyl}phenyl) ethyl)-2-methoxybenzamide, an important antidiabetic drug, has been studied both chitosan using theoretical calculations like Gibbs free energy, electrostatic potential, FTIR and NMR spectroscopy. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy reveals information about the molecular interactions of chemical components and is useful to characterization of hydrogel. Nucleophilic and electrophilic regions were calculated using the electrostatic potential.
