Flavonoid is a polyphenolic antioxidant used to treat free radical mediated tissue damage. So flavonoids are the good targets for treatment of many diseases like cancer, toxicity health hazards, neurodegenaration etc. Drug delivery of flavonoid is the novel approach where dosing and drug toxicity can be minimized. Antioxidant Catechin Hydrate (CH) is choosen to make drug delivery vehicle: nanocapsules either alone or in combination with chelator sodium meta borate (SMB) within biodegradable poly-lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA). Sizes of the prepared particles were determined through scanning and atomic force microscopy where less than 50 nm particle sizes were revealed. Bioavailability in serum study determines that shelf life of CH can be increased with nanocapsule delivery compared to free drug. Results demonstrate the efficacy of Nanocapsulated CH to be a potent vehicle for tissue targeting.
