In the xerogel preparation, tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), methyltriethoxysilane (MTES), and propyltriethoxysilane (PTES) are used asprecursors, and a nonionic surfactant Igepal CO 720 is used as a dopant. The experimental results suggest that the releaseof lidocaine hydrochloride can be easily controlled by partially substituting TEOS with the organosilanes, and/or by adding thedopant. Adding the organosilane precursors lowers the release of both the drug and the surfactant in the order of TEOS, MTES/TEOS, and PTES/TEOS xerogels. The release from the PTES/TEOS xerogels is much lower than that from the other xerogels.
The release of lidocaine hydrochloride is obviously suppressed by the addition of Igepal CO 720, while the release of Igepal CO720 is slightly promoted by the addition of the drug. The overall release process is found to be diffusion-controlled, and therelease behaviors can be well explained by considering the effects of the textual properties of the xerogels and the interactionsamong the drug, the surfactant, and the xerogel matrices.

Different functional groups can be present at the surface,depending on the preparation method of the xerogels and (if in solution) the nature of medium.
