Synthesis, characterization, toxicity and morphology assessments of newly prepared microemulsion systems for delivery of valproic acid

Valproic acid (VPA), an anti-epileptic drug used to treat seizures, epilepsy, and psychological disorders, has shown promising antitumor potential; however, the side effects are a serious concern. This effort reports the nano-formulation and characterization of oil-in-water F127/lignin microemulsions to enhance the bioavailability of valproic acid (VPA). Microemulsions showed a high encapsulation efficiency and prolonged release. F127/VPA and...
