Formulation And Evaluation of Quercetin Loaded Nanosponges of Abiraterone Acetate

A novel idea in medicine delivery is the use of nanosponges. In the current research, an effort was made to create in-situ gel based on nanosponges that contained abiraterone acetate loaded with quercetin. The major purpose of nanosponges is to offer a prolonged release, lessen the negative effects of conventional dosage forms, and enhance the bioavailability of abiraterone acetate by using quercetin as a natural bioenhancer. Combining ethyl cellulose and eudragit in varying quantities, the quasi emulsion solvent diffusion technique was used to create nanosponges and quercetin as a natural bioenhancer. The formulation properties of the produced nanosponges were assessed. All batches of nanosponges had their manufacturing yield and trapping effectiveness assessed. Formulations F 03-P1 and F 07-P2 were found to be the optimum formulations based on results. Both F 03- P1 and F 07-P2 were used to create the gels G1 and G2. Viscosity, spreadability, drug content, and in-vitro tests showing 28.88% drug release after 24 hours all favored G2 as the optimal formulation. A gel base was created using the optimized formulation after it had been tested for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Nanosponges containing gel had evaluated for different tests. According to the study, adding drugs to nanosponges can increase the rate of drug release, improve medication targeting at a particular spot, and hence lessen systemic toxicity.
