They were loaded with a hydrophobic drug model , warfarin , in order to enhance its bioavailability and controlled release in blood circulation system . To overcome the hydrophobic nature of warfarin , it was complexed with Ý- cyclodextrin . The drug loaded nanoparticles were characterized by SEM , TEM , Zeta potential , FT - IR and UV - visible spectroscopy UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
