Abstract

In the present work, sol-gel method was used to incorporate in a ceramic material a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (piroxicam) as model drug. The incorporation of the drug in the SiO2 network was carried out at different sol-gel synthesis parameters, such as pH (3 and 5) and the alkoxide/water ratio (1:6 and 1:8). The biomaterial obtained was analyzed by thermal analysis TGA-DTA, infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD); specific surface area and porosity were analyzed from nitrogen adsorption isotherm. Better drug incorporation into the material was achieved at the synthesis conditions of pH 5 and 1:6 alkoxide/water molar ratio.
