Abstract

Ibuprofen (IBU) was chosen as a model drug to investigate the drug delivery rate. Mesoporous MCM-41 has been charged with ibuprofen (MCM-41_IBU). Calcium alginate was applied to encapsulate free drug and the mesoporous material. The system with double barrier demonstrated a slower release of IBU than free ibuprofen-loaded alginate beads and MCM-41_IBU. The IBU release from alginate matrix can be controlled by adjusting the free IBU/MCM-41_IBU ratio.
