Abstract
This paper deals with the synthesis and characterization of Ghatti gum (GG) and chitosan (CS) IPN MP prepared by emulsion-cross-linking method. Glutaraldehyde (GA) was used as a cross-linker. IPN microparticles were used to deliver (DS) Diclofenac sodium (Model anti inflammatory drug) to the intestine. IPN MP were characterized by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetric (DSC), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and evaluated for in vitro dissolution rate. FTIR studies assessed the formation of IPN structure. The surface morphology was studied by SEM. Particle sizes ranged between 294 to 366 μm. After encapsulation into IPN microparticles DSC studies were performed to recognize the crystalline nature of drug. DS percentage encapsulation efficiency (%EE) ranged from 84.09 to 96.81%. Equilibrium swelling was performed in buffer solution (pH 7.4). In-vitro release studies indicated the dependence of drug release rates on both the amount of chitosan and GG used in grounding of microparticles. The release was extended up to 12 hrs and release rates were fitted into an empirical equation to work out the diffusion parameter which indicates a Non-Fickian release. Continuous dissolution-absorption studies were carried out using everted rat intestine for optimized formulation (F9).

Advances of natural products, bio-actives and novel drug delivery system against emerging viral infections
Due to the increasing prevalence of viral infections and the ability of these human pathogens to develop resistance to current treatment strategies, there is a great need to find and develop new compounds to combat them. These molecules must have low toxicity, specific activity and high bioavailability. The most suitable ...read more
Electrospun Fibers as Drug Delivery Systems
In recent years, electrospun fibers have attracted considerable attention as potential platforms for drug delivery due to their distinctive properties and adaptability. These fibers feature a notable surface area-to-volume ratio and can be intentionally designed with high porosity, facilitating an increased capacity for drug loading and rendering them suitable for ...read more
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
