Abstract

Gliclazide (GLI), a sulfonylurea-class antidiabetic drug, exhibits poor aqueous solubility, limiting its bioavailability. This study aimed to enhance gliclazide’s solubility and dissolution rate by adsorbing it into mesoporous silica SBA-15 and amine-functionalized SBA-15 (SBA-15-A). SBA-15 was synthesized using Pluronic® P123 as a template and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as the silica precursor, while 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) was used to introduce amine functional groups. Gliclazide was loaded into SBA-15 and SBA-15-A at a 1:3 mass ratio. The materials (GLI, SBA-15, SBA-15-A, GLI-SBA, and GLI-SBA-A) were characterized using nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Characterization revealed that the pore diameters of SBA-15 and SBA-15-A were 6.079 nm and 5.483 nm, respectively. FT-IR confirmed the interaction between gliclazide and the mesoporous carriers. SEM and TEM analysis showed crystalline gliclazide and rod-shaped morphologies for the mesopores samples. DSC and PXRD results indicated that most of the gliclazide had been converted to an amorphous form. Solubility testing over 24 hours showed that GLI-SBA and GLI-SBA-A improved gliclazide solubility by 1.375- and 2.334-fold, respectively, compared to pure gliclazide. Dissolution testing in distilled water revealed a 6.033-fold and 3.887-fold increase in the release rate at 5 minutes for GLI-SBA and GLI-SBA-A, respectively. Both solubility and release rate improvements were statistically significant (p <0.05). These findings suggest that amine functionalization of SBA-15 effectively enhances the solubility and dissolution rate of gliclazide.

Abstract

Low public awareness of routine health monitoring and knowledge of proper medication use remains a significant problem, leading to increased adverse drug reactions and a decline in health status. Furthermore, a lack of health literacy and high self-medication practices also increase the risk of inappropriate medication use. To address this need, this activity combines health screening and medication education as an integrative approach to improving public health awareness and drug literacy. This study used a quasi-experimental one-group pre-posttest design and was conducted on 24 October 2025, at SDN 07 Ganting, East Padang Panjang, involving 34 participants. Activities included blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid screenings; medical consultations; and medication education and counseling. The majority of participants were women (80%), with a dominant age range of 41–59 years (50%). Mean blood pressure was 129.1 ± 25.0/86.26 ± 13.60 mmHg, glucose 132.41 ± 74.5 mg/dL, cholesterol 214.7 ± 33.8 mg/dL, and uric acid 5.6 ± 1.8 mg/dL, indicating the presence of risk factors requiring monitoring. Knowledge levels were in the good category at both pre-test (90%) and post-test (93.3%), with no significant difference (p = 0.541). This activity contributed to strengthening drug literacy through direct education linked to screening findings, enabling participants to understand their personal health risks. This integrated screening-education approach shows potential as a more effective community intervention model in increasing public knowledge and awareness of health and the safe use of drugs.
