The SBA-15 materials with hexagonal and regular structure were obtained using a triblock copolymer Pluronic P123 as a template and TEOS as a silica source. Ketorolac tromethamine was adsorbed into SBA-15 silica nanochannels using ethanol as solvent. The physicochemical and textural properties of SBA-15 and ketorolac tromethamine/SBA-15 were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and BET surface studies. The composite SBA-15/KETO shows characteristic bands of both, drug materials and the inorganic framework. This indicates that KETO was adsorbed into SBA-15 channel surface without affecting the chemical structure or composition of KETO. Drug release was evaluated by soaking the loaded silica mesoporous material into a solution of HCl (0.1N) at initial time (0 - 2 h) and buffer pH 7 at high times at 37 ºC under continuous stirring. Oral commercial Keto tablets (Dolten®) and Keto solution (Keto power) were study for the contrast. Release studies were performed in order to evaluate the required therapeutic efficacy. SBA-15 provides significant improvement in the controlled release of ketorolac tromethamine and enhance a good analgesia effect.pdfeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/SBA-15Ketorolac tromethamineDrug releaseinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleCussa, Jorgelina; Juárez, Juliana María; Gómez Costa, Marcos Bruno; Anunziata, Oscar Alfredo.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
