Development and Biological Evaluation of Gymnema Sylvestre Extract-Loaded Nonionic Surfactant-Based Niosomes

Abstract: This study reveals the merits of G. sylvestre extract-loaded niosomes, and justifies the potential of niosomes for improving the efficacy of G. sylvestre extract as antidiabetic. Original submitted 30 March 2012; Revised submitted 29 August 2012; Published online 24 December 2012.

“…The niosomal vesicles (NS1) were observed to be subglobose under TEM (Fig. 1) (Kamble et al, 2013), and their sizes were smaller than those measured by DLS. This result agreed with the findings of previous reports (Epand et al, 2003;Perrie et al, 2007), which may be associated with the method of sample preparation, such as replica formation on a copper grid and staining for TEM.…”

“…A previous study determined the stability of Gymnema sylvestre extract-loaded niosome through assessing the changes occurring in color, pH, and EE% before and after 90 days of being stored at 4 ± 1 °C, 25 ± 2 °C and 37 ± 2 °C. Their results showed the formulations were found to be stable at 4 ± 1 °C ( 22 ). Much consistent with findings of the present study, another study reported similar results about the size of vesicles under the same conditions ( 35 ) and the increase in the size may be related to aggregation of vesicles during the storage time ( 40 ).…”

“…According to the International Conference on Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) guidelines, Iran is categorized in zone II. As far as accelerated and intermediate testing condition is concerned, formulations were stored under three conditions such as 4 °C, 25 °C with relative humidity (RH) of 30%, and 40 °C with RH of 70% for 3 months ( 22 ). Then, vesicle sizes were examined during 24 h, 2 weeks, 1 and 3 months after preparation.…”

“…Based on the results of the previous studies, an increase in Span concentration of 40 will increase the entrapment efficiency of niosomes sodium ascorbyl phosphate, [23] as well as the niosome of Gymnema sylvestre extract. [25] This might be due that increasing concentration of surfactant will make the niosomes membrane less permeable and hence promotes entrapment efficiency. [5] However, after a certain point, the increase in surfactant concentration cannot increase significantly.…”
