Abstract
Catechin (CT) is natural molecule proved for antidiabetic activity. Clinical application of CT is highly restricted because of its low bioavailability and ineffectiveness in in vivo conditions. Therefore, the main objective of the present investigation was to formulate CT-loaded Eudragit RS 100 microparticles and evaluated for its potential against diabetes. CT microparticles showing highest entrapment efficiency of 92.3 ± 6.5% and higher percentage yield of 63.46 ± 4.3% was selected as optimised formulation. CT microparticles treated rats showed significantly lower blood glucose, cholesterol, LDL, free fatty acid and triglyceride concentrations in comparison to pristine CT-treated rats. The glucose and lipid profiles of microparticle formulation were akin to normal rats. Moreover, CT microparticles did not produce obesity even after 60 days which is a comment side effect of antidiabetic drugs. These results indicate that the CT microparticles can be applied as potential and safe carrier for the treatment of diabetes.
