Table 2.

Rate constants and correlation coefficients of the dissolution–diffusion kinetic models applied to VP16 release from VP16-LDH

Kinetic model Kinetic equation R2 (pH = 7.4) R2 (pH = 4.6)
Zero-order Mt – M0 = kt + a 0.4225 0.6624
First-order Ln (Mt/M0) = −kt + a 0.5931 0.8345
Parabolic diffusion model (1 – Mt/M0)/t) = kt−0.5 + a 0.9697 0.9783
Modified Freundlich model 1 – Mt/M0 = kta 0.9230 0.8977

Abbreviations: VP16, etoposide; LDH, layered double hydroxide.
