COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF PHARMACOKINETIC PROFILE OF HERBAL AND SYNTHETIC POLYMER BASED DELIVERY SYSTEM Authors: Bhardwaj H , GUPTA A, JANGDE RK AND KHUNTE S
ABSTRACT
The formulation and evaluation of herbal and synthetic polymer-based microspheres for a
targeted drug delivery, herbal polymer arrowroot is effectiveness, biodegradable,
polysaccharide, and natural polymers chitosan is used in preparation and comparison as a
(standard natural polymer) polymer-based microspheres and establishment of arrowroot
microspheres. Several drugs delivery system for targeting the organ and tissue, the drug
release provides a therapeutic effect of drugs and desired concentration in the body. Naturally
polymers-based microspheres are used as a carrier system for a targeted tissue, organs and
used to effective manner. These are consisting of protein, natural and synthetic which are
biodegradable floras, particle size having less than 200 ?m. It is prepared by solvent
evaporation methods and cross-linking methods. Arrowroot-based ethyl cellulose
microsphere is prepared by solvent evaporation technique using ethyl cellulose and poly vinyl
alcohol (stabilizer). The prepared microspheres are tested for particle size, percentage
entrapment efficacy, zeta potential, and in vitro drug release. Controlled /sustained drug
delivery system provides, minimize the side effect of conventional drug delivery, and
increase the therapeutic efficacy of drug. The various applications of this microsphere, such
as cancer cell and colon targeted drug delivery system, are critical for the safe and effective
in-vivo drug delivery. The goals of this study are to highlight some key aspects of herbal microspheres as a novel drug delivery system. It was determined that the developed herbal
microspheres formulation is a significant, therapeutically effective, and cost-effective vehicle
for drug delivery.
