Computational chemistry performs the modeling and calculation of physicochemical properties that allow understanding of the different molecular interactions at the nanometric scale in medical applications such as the design of controlled release systems. The PM6 model was used to analyze metformin and glibenclamide. First, the energy properties as the Gibbs free energy and enthalpies were obtained. The results showed the affinity of both drugs with water (glibenclamide: -7.96 and metformin: -11.49) due to the formation of hydrogen bonds, which were verified by the electronegativities corresponding to the dipole moment and to the partition coefficient (Log P). Subsequently, the main properties for the design of a release system using the metformin/glibenclamide complex in the chitosan hydrogel were determined. In this process it was appreciated that the Gibbs free energy (-2157.60 kcal/ mol) determined the thermodynamic stability of the adsorption. In addition, the Log P (-25.82) indicated an instantaneous solubility through the formation of hydrogen bonds and were verified by the electronic distribution and the change in dipole moment.
