FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF DEFLAZACORT NANOCAPSULE FOR CROHN’S DISEASE Authors: Nitin B. Kohale , R.P. SINGH, MANOJ S. CHARDE
ABSTRACT
Nanocapsules can be compared to vesicular systems in which the drug is trapped in a cavity that
encloses an internal fluid surrounded by a polymeric membrane. Nanocapsules show promise as
active vectors because of their ability to release drugs; their small cell size allows for higher
intracellular acquisition than other particle systems.
The nanocapsule can be directed to specific cells and areas within the body after intravenous and
subcutaneous injections. The formation of a nanocapsule is a mixture between a polymeric
nanocapsule and a liposome due to its oily substance surrounded by a strong pressure-acting
membrane. The advantage of the encapsulation method is to protect these objects to be protected
in the wrong place, to be controlled and precisely identified.
Deflazacort is a glucocorticoid with a high glucocorticoid receptor affinity but low systemic
function due to excessive initial metabolism in the liver. Deflazacort has a short half-life from
1.1-1.9 hours. So it is ready for further release. Lipidic nanocapsule was developed that will
provide greater stability and reduce drug toxicity.
