Abstract

The adsorption of promethazine chloride [10-(2-dimethylammonium propyl) fenothiazine chloride] and buformin hydrochloride (1-butylbiguanidine chloride) on montmorillonite was studied in previous work. The present article focuses on the desorption of these molecules from their organocomplexes in a medium of artificial intestinal juice (pH 7.0 ± 0.1) at the temperature of the human body (37 ± 0.5 °C). The desorption was investigated by kinetic studies, basal spacing measurements and Fourier transform IR studies. Important quantitative differences were observed: buformin, which adsorbed in a monolayer coverage, exhibited a very high desorption rate, whereas promethazine formed a pseudotrilayer arrangement and showed a lower dissolution rate.
