  Polymeric Micelles for Medicinal Plant Solubilization and Delivery of Bioactive Compounds

  By Amit Kumar Singh, Anusuya A M, Snehal T Hase, Shubham Sharma, V C Uvaraja, Abhijeet A Jondhale, Rishi Pal, Diksha Diwakar, Raj K. Keservani

  Abstract: This study involved the design, fabrication, and characterization of polymeric micellar nanocomposites utilizing amphiphilic block copolymers to effectively encapsulate and transport hydrophobic phytoconstituents. The selected bioactive molecule is curcumin, a polyphenol with limited water solubility. A polymeric system known as PEG-PCL was utilized to fabricate core-shell nanostructures by a solvent evaporation-induced self-assembly method. The resulting nanocomposites exhibited homogeneity and colloidal stability, characterized by a zeta potential of −18.7 ± 1.4 …

  Development of Biodegradable Poly (Lactic-Co-Glycolic Acid) (PLGA) Nanoparticles for Sustained Release of Insulin

  By Amit Kumar Singh, Anuradha Singh, Raosaheb Y. Ghegade, Shubham Sharma, Chetna Devkar, Kavitha C, Manisha S Nangude, Anagha Amit Sarvadnya, Mrinal Kanti Bhoumik

  Abstract: This research outlines the creation of biodegradable composite nanoparticles made from poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) designed for the sustained release of insulin. The emphasis is on the interactions between the polymer and the drug at the interface, along with the dynamics of the release matrix. The in vitro release kinetics, surface morphology, encapsulation efficiency, particle size, and polydispersity of insulin-loaded PLGA nanoparticles were analyzed following their production via a double …
