P09 SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERISATION OFPROBENECID-LAYERED DOUBLE HYDROZIDENANOCOMPOSITE1 H.H. Chua, 2, M.Z. Hussein*, 2 S.M. Nabil Mohsin and 1 R. Abdul Manap1 Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, <strong>Universiti</strong> <strong>Putra</strong> <strong>Malaysia</strong>, 43400<strong>UPM</strong> Serdang, Selangor, <strong>Malaysia</strong>2 Material Synthesis and Characterization Laboratory (MSCL), Institute of AdvancedTechnology (ITMA), <strong>Universiti</strong> <strong>Putra</strong> <strong>Malaysia</strong>, 43400 <strong>UPM</strong>, Serdang, Selangor,<strong>Malaysia</strong>.Corresponding author: mzobir@putra.upm.edu.myProbenecid has antibiotic, antiviral and antimicrobial properties. In the past fewdecades, probenecid has been widely used in prevention of rheumatism and treatmentof Parkinson’s disease. Probenecid has potential use as inotrope drug for heart failuretreatment due to its competitive inhibitor characteristicS. In this study, Probenecidwas intercalated in its anionic form into layered double hydroxide (LDH), ahydrotalcite-like material, using direct co-precipitation method. Synthesis parameterssuch as pH condition, metal cation molar ratio and guest anion concentration wereinvestigated to optimize drug intercalation. Successful intercalation of Probenecid intoLDH interlayer was confirmed with powder x-ray diffractometer (PXRD), Fouriertransform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), direct injection mass spectrometer (DIMS)and carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulfur (CHNS) analyzer. PXRD patterns of thenanocomposite showed an increase of basal spacing from 7.9 Å (pristine Zn/Al-NO 3LDH) to 27.9 Å. In addition, controlled released property of the intercalated LDH wasinvestigated using simulated gastrointestinal fluid (pH 4.8) and plasma fluid (pH 7.4).The results showed that drug release from LDH layers is a relatively slow andsustained process. This indicates potential for the synthesized Probenecid-LDHnanocomposite to be used as an effective drug delivery system.24 |16 th Industrial Chemistry Seminar: Chemistry- A Passport to a Brighter Future
