Objective: The current research was based on developing CS-PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) drug delivery system (DDS) for improving the bio-availability of metformin HCl, an anti-diabetic drug. Methods: Nanoprecipitation method was utilized to prepare the metformin HCl-loaded CS-PLGA NPs DDS. The metformin HCl-loaded NPs were validated using an analytical method and characterization of NPs was also done. These polymers release the drug in a controlled manner. Results: The correlation coefficient (R2) value for the metformin HCl calibration curve was 0.9971 in phosphate buffer pH 6.8 at a concentration range of 0-12 μg/ml. Metformin HCl-loaded NPs release the drug at 144 h, approximately 90%. DSC tests were carried out for 50 mg and 75 mg of MET HCl incorporated NPs and FT-IR for 50 mg of MET HCl incorporated NPs, it was clear from the FT-IR and DSC spectra that there were no interactions between the metformin HCl and the polymer. Conclusion: It was proven that metformin HCl-loaded NPs act as a prominent DDS by exhibiting extensive drug release and an increase in its bioavailability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
