Biopolymeric nanoencapsulation of model drug: Its development and characterisation

Abstract

This research aimed to develop the phenytoin-loaded bionanosuspension by utilising the novel biopolymer from Juglans regia andreduce the long-term treatment cost of epilepsy and increase the efficiency of therapy. A novel biopolymer with remarkable inbuilt properties was isolated and used in the development of a nano capsulated dispersed system. The diverse proportions of phenytoin and biopolymer with different ratios 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5 and 1:8 were taken for the planning of details PJNC1-PJNC5. The bionanosuspension was assessed for dispersibility, pH, % entrapment efficiency, stability study and in vitro drug discharge. The formulation PJNC2 with 1:3 drug biopolymer proportion showed significant outcomes for various assessments with t50% of 16.51 h and r² estimation of 0.9884. PJNC2 showed 92.07%±2.5 drug delivery in 36h and was stable. The bionanosuspension was found to be stable and safe for the delivery of nanosized phenytoin utilising the biopolymer having a remarkable stabiliser cum retardant property.
