Abstract In this study, a pH-sensitive drug delivery system was presented by o-phenylenediamine functionalized SBA-15 as a new carrier for controlled release of imatinib mesylate. O-phenylenediamine functionalized SBA-15 mesoporous silica was synthesized and characterized. Powder X-ray diffraction proved the 2D hexagonal mesostructure with p6mm space group for nanoporous materials. The o-phenylenediamine functionalized SBA-15 showed the BET surface area 265 m2g−1 and pore diameter 5.8 nm, based on adsorption–desorption of ­N2 at 77 ºK. The presence of organic groups in the silica framework was demonstrated by FTIR spectrum. Then, the imatinib mesylate was loaded on o-phenylenediamine functionalized SBA-15 in saturated drug aqueous solution at ambient temperature for 1 h. According to the observations on drug release in phosphate buffers, the imatinib mesylate release from o-phenylenediamine functionalized SBA-15 shows a pH-associated behavior, and the rate of imatinib mesylate release was quicker at lower pH than higher pH. In addition, the imatinib mesylate had a slow release pattern in SBF with a constant rate of approximately 1.4 µg h−1 after the first hour. The results illustrated that o-phenylenediamine functionalized SBA-15 is a suitable option for being employed as a new carrier for controlled release of imatinib mesylate.

Introduction The controlled release is required in administration of toxic anti-cancer drugs that must not have contact with healthy tissue. Controlled release of the drug at an optimal rate offers various advantages compared to the conventional dosage * Leila Hajiaghababaei [email protected] 1

form. In a controlled release system, the whole drug dose for a specific period is delivered once, and it is released in a controlled way, which improves patient compliance. Besides, the drug release is done at a constant rate and the blood concentration of the drug stays steady (Fathi Vavsari et al. 2015), which enhances its efficacy. Reduced harmful side effects and protection against rapid me
