Gel Growth, XRD, SEM and Spectral Studies of Ciprofloxacin Hexa-hydrate

Esakki Ramachandran, Subramanian Natarajan

Abstract


Gel medium appears to be the ideal one to study crystallization of bio-minerals as its viscous nature provides simulation of synovial cartilage and other biological fluids. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic drug and also it rarely occurs as a urinary stone constituent. In continuation of our work in many urinary stone constituents and drugs the crystallization of ciprofloxacin in sodium meta-silicate gel by reduction of solubility method was attempted to realize the growth environment. Characterization of the sample was made using single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) and density determination. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of as grown crystal, morphological studies using crystallographic software have been executed and compared with the molecular packing. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic studies were also conducted.
