Abstract
The drug encapsulation efficiency and drug loading capacity of synthesized products were estimated with HPLC including suitable analytical techniques to confirm the formation of clay-polymer nanocomposites (CPN). The release profile of encapsulated PPN in CPN shows pH dependent release in simulated gastrointestinal fluid for a period of 8Â h. This study suggests that the methodologies used are suitable for the synthesis of Mt based PLGA nanocomposites with high drug encapsulation efficiency and controlled drug release characteristics and indicates that the Mt-PPN-PLGA nanocomposites are supposed to be better oral controlled drug delivery system, for a highly hydrophilic low molecular weight antihypertensive drug PPN to minimize the drug dosing frequency and hence improving the patient compliance.
