The interactions of model cationic drug with newly synthesized starch derivatives.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

The aim of the work was to compare the interactions of three newly synthesized non-toxic starch derivatives, with varied anionic and non-ionic functional groups with methylene blue (MB) as a model cationic drug, and selection of starch derivative with highest affinity to the MB.

Experimental approach

The native potato starch (SN), modified via acetylation (SM1), esterification and crosslinking (SM2) and crosslinking (SM3), was evaluated in MB adsorption studies and assessed by FTIR, PXRD, and DSC.

Key results

The adsorption of MB on SM2 and SM3 matched the BET isotherm model, which confirmed physisorption on the low-porous surface. In the case of SM1, adsorption took place via electrostatic attraction between the heterogeneous adso
