Preparation and characterization of alginate polymer coated catechin nanoparticle

Abstract

In present study nano drug was prepared by using catechin and its characterization was done. 0.5% sodium alginate was used as delivery system for the preparation of the polymeric nanoparticles of catechin hydrate. Catechins are predominant form of flavanols present in plants and have attracted particular attention due to their relatively high antioxidant capacity in biological systems ionic cross linkage. Size of the prepared drug was analysed by using zeta sizer and its encapsulation efficiency and drug loading capacity were recorded.
