A Study on Conscinium fenestratum and Chitosan Biopolymer Composite for Ayurvedic Drug Delivery

This study delves into the synergistic amalgamation of Coscinium fenestratum, an Ayurvedic medicinal plant, and chitosan biopolymer. This results in the innovative Venivel Chitosan Composite, which has established a pioneering drug delivery system. Subsequently, the composite material, Venivel Chitosan Composite, was formulated by integrating Coscinium fenestratum extract and chitosan biopolymer. Structural characteristics of Chitosan biopolymer and Venivel Chitosan Composite were determined via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), offering valuable insights into their morphological features. Furthermore, a comprehensive characterization of the composite was achieved through the analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, elucidating its crystalline structure. A meticulous examination of the in vitro drug release profile revealed a predominant diffusion mechanism, indicating the potential suitability of this system for applications in wound healing treatments. In conclusion, integrating Coscinium fenestratum with chitosan biopolymer presents a versatile composite with promising anti bacterial, anti oxidant, and anti - infl ammatory properties, elevating its potential for targeted and controlled ayurvedic drug delivery applications.
