ABSTRACT
The grafting of biopolymer gum ghatti (GG) over the PNIPAM and PAA was done and loaded with graphene oxide (GO). Aim of this work is carried out combine adsorption of sodium diclofenac (SD) and metformin (MF) by the prepared hydrogels under influence of various parameters. The adsorbent GG-g-P(NIPAM-co-PAA)/GO(3 mg) chosen for adsorption activity as it displayed highest swelling capacity. The effect of amount of both adsorbents GG-g-P(NIPAM-co-PAA and GG-g-P(NIPAM-co-PAA)/GO(3 mg) showed that highest adsorption capacity found at 40 mg of adsorbents for both drugs at conditions: 100 mg/L concentration, 30 °C, 24 h and pH 6 and subsequently became stable. Both the drugs were removed in greater amount at 25 mg/L concentration, 24 h of contact time, 30 °C, 40 mg amount of both adsorbents and pH 6. Effect of time revealed that as time elevated from 2 h to 12 (100 mg/L concentration,, 30 °C, 40 mg amount of both adsorbents and pH 6) led to increase adsorption efficiency and after that increase time did not much impact on adsorption activity. Adsorption activity of hydrogels declined with increase of temperature (100 mg/L concentration, 12 h, 40 mg amount of both adsorbents and pH 6). The acidic conditions favored adsorption of SD while MF adsorbed under the weak acidic(100 mg/L concentration, 30 °C, 12 h, 40 mg amount of both adsorbents). However, basic conditions did not much influence on adsorption of MF but effected on adsorption activity of SD. Adsorption isotherm and kinetic model suggested that adsorption is homogenous and chemical in nature. The maximum adsorption capacity (qm) found to be 289.01 and 154.55 mg/g for SD and MF respectively.

ABSTRACT
In the present study Gg-cl-poly(NIPA-co-AA) and Gg-cl-poly(NIPA-co-AA)/-o-MWCNT hydrogels were synthesized using free radical polymerization. We looked into whether combining metformin with diclofenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), would be effective in examining complex formation and analysing the types and intensities of complexes that could result from metformin-diclofenac interactions. The interaction of metformin and diclofenac was studied in vitro at various pH levels and body temperatures. The structure and morphology of the produced hydrogel were characterised using FTIR spectra, SEM analysis, and drug loading tests. As a model drug, the hydrogel was loaded with metformin hydrochloride and sodium diclofenac (DS), and the medicines were released pH-dependently. To explore the drug release kinetics and mechanism, the zero order and first order kinetic models, the Korsemeyar-Peppas model, the Higuchi model, and the Hixson-Crowell model have all been employed. Drug release studies revealed notable characteristics in connection to physiologically predicted pH values, with a high release rate at pH = 9.2. At pH = 9.2, however, both metformin and sodium diclofenac exhibited a Fickian mechanism. Combination treatment may reduce the effective dose of a single drug and hinder metabolic rescue mechanisms. More study is needed to detect any negative effects on individuals.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to better understand the underlying drug release characteristics from Gg-cl-poly(NIPA-co-AA)/CoFe2O4 hydrogel containing metformin hydrochloride as model drug. Nanocomposite's hydrogel of gum ghatti free radical polymerization is used for the controlled release of metformin hydrogen chloride. Gum ghatti and CoFe2O4 nanoparticle dispersion were grafted by acrylic acid and N-isopropylacrylamide, employing graft copolymerization in the presence of N, N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA) as cross linker, and ammonium persulfate (APS) as initiator. The synthesized nanocomposites hydrogel was characterized using FTIR, SEM, TGA and DSC. Drugs were all released through diffusion in the hydrated matrix and polymer relaxation, irrespective of the drug solubility. In vitro drug release studies, at different pH values of pH = 4.0, 7.4 and 9.2 was employed. Drug release was influenced by the change of pH. The pH of 7.4 was considered as the optimized pH for maximum drug release. The nanocomposites hydrogel was loaded with metformin hydrochloride drug (100 mg) which is an antidiabetic drug to investigate the release profiles in PBS (pH 7.4). The effects of polymer level and initial drug loading on release depended on drug properties. Different models were studied for release kinetic studies which showed that the zero-order model suggested the best kinetics release studies in PBS (pH- 7.4) and showed sustained release. The kinetics of drug release were discovered to fit the Korsmeyer-Peppas model with n > 1, indicating a specific case II transport mechanism.
