Abstract
Biopharmaceutical properties together with potency contribute critically towards clinical efficacy of the drugs by influencing the dissolution and bioavailability. The aim of this study was to develop an amphiphilic phyto-phospholipid complex in order to enhance the delivery of poorly soluble rutin. The rutin-phospholipid complex (Ru-PLc) was prepared and investigated for various physico-chemical parameters like drug loading, infrared absorption (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffractometry (XRPD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), aqueous/ n-octanol solubility and dissolution study. The in vitro anti-oxidant activity was also studied. In the SEM, Ru-PLc was found fluffy and porous with rough surface morphology. FTIR, DSC and XRPD data confirmed the formation of phospholipid complex. The water/ noctanol solubility of rutin was improved from 2.88 to 45.71 μg/ ml and 68.17 to 245.18 μg/ ml, respectively in the complex. The improved dissolution was shown by the phospholipid complex at different pH buffers. The antioxidant activity indicated that, the bioactivity of rutin was maintained even after being complexed with the phospholipid. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the phospholipid complex may be considered as a promising drug delivery system for improving the overall absorption and bioavailability of the rutin molecule.

Emerging Nanotherapeutics for Mitigation of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Conditions affecting the central nervous system (CNS) present a significant hurdle due to limited access of both treatments and diagnostic tools for the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a barrier, restricting the passage of molecules from the bloodstream into the brain. The most formidable challenge facing scientists is ...read more
Nanotechnology Based Chemotherapy for the treatment of Head & Neck Cancer
The escalating recurrence rates observed in Head and Neck cancer, particularly within the chemo-therapeutically treated cohort (50-60%), can be attributed to the non-selective nature of current anticancer drug delivery modalities. In this context, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems emerge as a promising avenue for achieving precise localization of therapeutic agents to ...read more
