The improvement of diosmin dissolution by PLGA complexes for oral delivery: physicochemical characterization and anti-inflammatory evaluation

Diosmin (DSN) is a potent flavonoid used for chronic venous insufficiency, but its therapeutic potential is constrained by poor aqueous solubility and low oral bioavailability (BCS Class IV). To overcome these challenges, a hybrid polymeric nanocarrier system comprising poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and (2-hydro...

Surface-functionalized niosomes using a folic acid-chitosan conjugate for delivery of capecitabine in breast cancer: In vitro and in vivo characterization.

In this study, capecitabine (CAP) niosomes were prepared using the thin-film hydration method with Span 60 and cholesterol as key excipients and the formulation was optimized using a 32 factorial design. The synthesized folic acid-chitosan (FA-CS) conjugate was used to functionalize the niosome surface. An optimized fo...
