Abstract

The κ-carrageenan/sodium alginate core-shell beads were prepared by 2-step ionic gelation method for drug delivery system. SEM micrographs confirmed the successful encapsulation of κ-carrageenan core with sodium alginate shell. The pH sensitive behavior of core-shell beads was evident in simulated gastrointestinal tract condition. Swelling of the beads increased when pH of the environment changed from acidic (pH 1.2) to alkaline (pH 7.4). The hydrogel beads were loaded with a model drug, methylene blue, and their release was studied. The release profiles were effected with different parameters in the preparation step, such as, crosslink density, thickness of shell and porosity of the core. It was observed that the encapsulation of κ-carrageenan with sodium alginate shell reduced the premature release of drug in the stomach mimicked condition and released the drug more specifically to the colon mimicked condition. The release mechanism was investigated and best fitted with Hixson-Crowell model. These results suggest that core-shell beads could be further developed as effective drug delivery system with pH sensitive drug release ability. Keywords : carrageenan, sodium alginate, drug delivery, core-shell hydrogel
