Dissolution rate and stability study of flavanone aglycones, naringenin and hesperetin, by drug delivery systems based on polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) nanodispersions

Abstract

During accelerated degradation analysis, for 3 months at high temperature and moisture, PVP nanodispersion system showed enhanced chemical compatibility and physical stability. The physical evaluation (obtained from XRD analysis) of PVP/naringenin-hesperetin (80/20, w/w) in the selected storage conditions did not show any crystallization of flavanone aglycones in the PVP nanodispersion system or any change in their release profile.
