Some
PluronicF68 (F68) triblock copolymer properties demonstrate surprising
applications in selective drug administration, such as the transportation
of hydrophobic anti-inflammatories through epithelial barriers. Nuclear
magnetic resonance (
1
H-NMR) spectroscopy was carried out
for micelle precursor dispersions and F68 films modified with a synthetic
imogolite (IMO) biocompatible hydrogel. Theoretical calculations and
morphological assessment for the process of morphogenesis of dendritic
crystallization were performed by molecular docking and atomic force
microscopy (AFM) of the Sudan III-IMO-F68 composite, which was more
hydrophobic than Sudan III-F68 and carried out the prolonged release
of the Sudan III “drug” captured by a water–octanol
interface determined by standard absorbance. Surface fusions were
measured and compared to the unmodified matrix. However, despite the
superior properties of the composite, the critical micelle concentration
(CMC) was practically unmodified because solitary IMO strands attached
to Sudan III formed Sudan III-IMO. These strands unraveled in a stable
manner by expanding like a “spiderweb” in hydrophilic
interfaces according to NMR analysis of the hydrogen one H
1
polarization of Sudan III and F68 methyl, whose correlation relates
hydrophobicity of Sudan III-IMO-F68 with dendrite properties from
F68 concentrations. CMC and surface fusions equivalent to F68 surface
properties, calculated by differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic
Raman spectroscopy, were determined by AFM and high-resolution ellipsometry.
Our results show highly specialized pharmacological applications since
micelle surfaces expand, triggering maximum deliveries of “Drugs”
from its interior to the physiological environment. The implanted
sensor prototype determined equilibria reached Sudan III according
to temperature (32–50 °C) and time it took to cross the
membrane model 1-octanol (48 h). The findings suggest that the targested
design of a F68-IMO-“Drug” would function as a microdevice
for the prolonged release of hydrophobic drugs. In addition, the said
microdevice could regenerate the damaged tissue in the central nervous
system or other organs of the body. This is due to the fact that it
could perform both tasks simultaneously, given the properties and
characteristics acquired by the compatible material depending on the
temperature of the physiological environment.
