ABSTRACT
Resealed erythrocyte is novel drug delivery system mainly used for targeting specific tissues
with drug. This drug delivery system is having number of advantages over the other novel
drug delivery system in case of the diseases like cancer. There are various methods used for
preparation of resealed erythrocyte. In this study, we have prepared Resealed erythrocytes by
two techniques, Dilution technique and preswell dilution technique by adding cross linking
agent, glutaraldehyde due to which % encapsulation efficiency was increased and the results
were obtained. With these results, we found that, in vitro drug release followed first order
kinetics with sustained release. The % encapsulation efficiency was more with the
formulations prepared by preswell technique as compared to dilution technique. The
hematological parameters were satisfactory. The other parameters like particle size, zeta
potential, osmotic shock, osmotic fragility, turbulent shock studies, stability study were tested
for the optimized formulations. This drug delivery system has exclusive advantages over
conventional drug delivery systems and hence proved to be potential in clinical point of view.
