Intercalation compound of diclofenac sodium with layered inorganic compounds as a new drug material

摘要

The intercalation reaction of diclofenac sodium (DFS) with layered inorganic compounds, gamma-titanium phosphate (gamma-TiP), proton type titanium oxide (H-TiO2) and sodium type synthetic mica (Na-TSM), was examined on. The direct reaction of DFS in ethanol-water mixed solvent resulted in the large amount accommodation of DFS. The amount of intercalated DFS was the order of gamma-TiP>H-TiO2>Na-TSM corresponding to the order of acidity. The intercalation using phospholiopids was also examined to assist the intercalation reaction. However, the amount of intercalated DFS was rather small in comparison with those in the direct reaction. DFS accommodated in gamma-TiP dissolved into neutral and basic buffer solution stoichiometry while scarcely dissolved in the acidic solution. The mechanism of the intercalation and reverse dissolution was successfully accounted according to the ion-exchange mechanism between Na+ in DFS and H+ in gamma-TiP. The dissolution from tablet of DFS/gamma-TiP intercalation compound was examined by using a disintegrator. It was found that the dissolution rate appropriately controlled by mixing the disintegrator. The present results suggested the different possibilities in the clinical field to use layered inorganic compounds such as drug delivery system (DDS).
