In this study, we developed the novel pH-sensitive composite interpenetrating polymeric network (IPN) hydrogel based on polyethylene gylcol (PEG), poly(acrylic acid-co-Nvinylpyrrolidone) crosslinked with N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA).These composite is used in the controlled release (CR) of cefadroxil, an antibiotic drug. A systematic method via in-situ polymerization in sodium aluminosilicate dispersion media is also performed in order to achieve much higher degree of swelling behaviour followed by sufficient gel strength in the simulated pH atmosphere. The resulting hydrogel imprinted was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to confirm the copolymer formation and cross linking reaction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to understand the surface morphology.Differential thermal analysis -thermo gravimetric analysis (DTA-TGA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were also used for investigating deviations from crystallinity and swelling experiments. In vitro release of the drug loaded hydrogel results performed in acidic and basic media affected the drug release characteristics. Release data have been analysed using an empirical equation to understand about the transport of drug containing solution through the polymeric matrices. The wt% of PEG, MBA, initiator, total monomer concentration, pH of the medium was found to strongly influence the drug release behaviour of the gels. Impression of drug loading on encapsulation efficiency was also investigated. The release rate of the drug was much faster at pH of 7.8 than at pH 1.7.Modelling and kinetics of sustained release of antibiotic was reported.
