FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF NANOPARTICLES USING CHITOSAN AS POLYMERS AND OCIMUM TENUIFLORUM LEAF AND ZINGIBER OFFICINALE STEM EXTRACTS Authors: Kumar A* And Gupta G
ABSTRACT
Aim and objective: The aim of the present study was to develop the nanoparticles consisting
etoricoxib with ethanolic extract of ginger (Zingiber officinale, Zingiberaceae) root and tulsi
(Ocimum sanctum L, Lamiaceae) leaves prepared nanoparticles using Chitosan as polymers
treatment of diabetes complications.
Material and method: Nanoparticles were prepared by the antisolvent method by using a
different concentration of polymer (Chitosan) and extract while concentration of etoricoxib was
remain constant in all the formulations. The prepared nanoparticle was evaluated for different
parameters.
Result & discussion: The formulation of nanoparticles was evaluated for various parameters
such as viscosity, washability, consistency, pH, spreadability and in-virro drug release study. The
constancy of the formulations size of pores was found ranging from 924 nm was observed. The
pH of the nanoparticles was found to be 6.1±0.009 (F2) to 6.1±0.098 (F7) whereas the viscosity
was found in the range of 0.901±0.010 (F7) to 1.200±0.055 micm3 (F9). The Spreadability was
found in the range of 61.9±0.025 % (F5) to 71.01±0.016 % (F4). The drug content of etoricoxib
in the formulations was found in the range of 63.9±0.11 (F8) to 77.5±0.06 (F9). GE 58.9±0.01 (F7) to 62.9±0.05 (F1) and BE 35.9±0.01 (F3) to 64.9±0.05 (F9). The drug release was taken up
to 24 h and found to be 99 % for all the formulations.
Conclusion: The results showed that the nanoparticles were prepared successfully.
