Enhanced bioavailability of Quercetin-loaded niosomal in situ gel for the management of Parkinson’s disease by Abhishek A. Revankar, Archana S. Patil, Reshma Karishetti, Krutuja R. Chougule, Priyanka Patil, Abhijit Salokhe

“…This study investigates the formulation of quercetin, a natural bioflavonoid with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as niosomes for intranasal delivery to enhance its bioavailability and therapeutic potential for PD.MethodsThe niosomal formulation was optimized for critical parameters including particle size, entrapment efficiency, and zeta potential. Male Wistar rats were utilized to assess the effects of quercetin-loaded niosomes on motor function, dopaminergic neuron protection, and oxidative stress alleviation.ResultsThe optimized niosomal formulation exhibited a particle size of 195 nm, a polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.29, a zeta potential (ZP) of −30.63 mV, and an entrapment efficiency (EE) of 82.77%. …”
