Quercetin Nanoparticles

Langbeschreibung
Quercetin has been studied extensively because it brings several health benefits to people including anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-obesity properties. The aim of this study was to formulate quercetin-loaded PLGA nanoparticles by using single emulsion solvent evaporation technique. Polymeric nanoparticles tend to improve the water solubility and bioavailability of quercetin, thus, enhancing its therapeutic efficacy. This formulation was performed by factorial design to create several sets of formulations. The variables such as particle size, polydispersity index, entrapment efficiency and cumulative drug release after 24 hours were determined as the responses for the formulations. Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were employed to characterize quercetin nanoparticles.
Kok Yik Sin is an undergraduate student studied in Asian Institute of Medicine, Science and Technology (AIMST) University, Kedah, Malaysia. She worked on a research regarding the preparation of nanoparticles as drug delivery system. Sincere and utmost gratitude was expressed by her to her supervisor, Dr. Jaya Raja Kumar, friends as well as family.
