PG - 124983 LID - S0141-8130(23)01877-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124983 [doi] AB - Nano crystalline cellulose (NCC) created a breakthrough in biomedical field because of its important characteristics like large surface area, good mechanical strength, biocompatibility, renewability and feasibility of incorporation to both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances. In the present study NCC based drug delivery systems (DDSs) of some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were obtained by covalent bonding between hydroxyl groups of NCC with carboxyl group of NSAIDs. Developed DDSs were characterized by means of FT-IR, XRD, SEM and thermal analysis. In-vitro release study and fluorescence study showed that these systems are stable up to 18 h in upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract at pH 1.2 and released NSAIDs in sustained manner over the period of 3 h in intestine at pH 6.8-7.4. Present study performed with the aim to reuse bio-waste even in the form of DDSs is of greater therapeutic efficacy with reduced dosing frequency that overcome physiological adversities involved with NSAIDs.
