  Polymer Chemistry in Sustained-Release Herbal Composites: Designing a Stable Euphorbia tithymaloides Topical System with Phospholipid and Polymer Matrices

  By Amar Mohite, Rohan Sharadanand Phatak, Vyankatesh R. Dharanguttikar, Swapnali Thorat, Atul R. Chopade, Jayant Rajaram Pawar

  Abstract: Polymer chemistry enables the stabilization and sustained release of herbal actives, critical for topical therapeutic applications. This study explores a novel process for preparing a stable, sustained-release topical composition of Euphorbia tithymaloides, leveraging polymer-based systems. Ethanolic extract (50 mg) of the plant, rich in unstable sugar moieties (e.g., D-ribose) and sterols (e.g., stigmasterol), is encapsulated within a phospholipid matrix of phosphatidylcholine (50–100 mg) and cholesterol (50–100 mg). This lipid-polymer complex, …
