Design of biodegradable nanoparticles: a novel approach to encapsulating poorly soluble phytochemical ellagic acid

Nanosizing of poorly water soluble drugs or incorporating them into nanoparticles to increase their Solubility and thereby the bioavailability has become a favoured approach today. This work describes a novel method for encapsulating poorly water soluble phytochemical ellagic acid that is also sparingly soluble/insoluble in routine solvents used to prepare nanoparticles.
