Abstract

S100 coated pellets. The in vivo evaluation of developed system was performed by employing oxazolone colitis rat model. The average particle size of Mn-NLCs (301.7 ± 2.88 nm) was found to be more than that of unconjugated NLCs (284.0 ± 4.53 nm) with marginally reduced % entrapment efficiency (90.88 ± 3.86%). The in vitro cytotoxicity studies using J774A.1 cell line revealed that Mn-NLCs were non-toxic as compared to pure drug. The in vivo evaluation depicted that Mn-NLCs showed significant reduction in clinical activity scoring, macroscopic and microscopic indexing, colonic myeloperoxidase activity and inflammatory cytokines. In conclusion, the developed Mn-NLCs appear to be promising for the treatment of IBD by selectively targeting inflamed colonic region as compared to unconjugated nanoparticulate system.
