Epilepsy is a central nervous system disorder (neurological disorder) in which the nerve cell activity in the brain becomes disrupted, causing unprovoked, recurrent seizures or unusual behavior, sensations or even unconsciousness. In this research work, Pregablin selected as a molecule for designing a emulgel using novel bio-functional agent and compared with standard polymer. This can be overcome by minimizing the dose and sideeffects of API molecule used for various routes. The Pregablin loaded emulgel was prepared using novel bio-functional agent isolated from fruit pulp of Musa acuminata and with standard polymer (sodium alginate) with different ratios. The prepared formulations were evaluated for pH stability studies, % entrapment efficacy, in-vitro drug release and stability studies. The prepared emulgel was subjected to the best formulation based on comparison of above mentioned evaluation parameters, FM2 formulation was found to be the best formulation showing an R 2 value of 0.9487, T50% of 23.52 h and T80% of 60.22 h respectively. According to the release kinetics, the best fit model was Peppas Korsmeyer with Fickian Diffusion (Higuchi Matrix) as the mechanism of drug release. Musa acuminata provided the excellent stability for the formulation. The results revealed that, uaing Musa acuminata as biofunctional agent was safe and compatible with drug, so Pregablin loaded emulgel can be more affective for brain targeting upon trans-cranial administration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
