The current study focuses on development of phospholipid complex-loaded films of etodolac for enhanced transdermal permeation and anti-inflammatory effect. An etodolac-phospholipid complex was developed using the solvent evaporation method and was characterized by DSC, XRD, FTIR, and H-NMR studies. The formation of the complex led to conversion of a crystalline drug to an amorphous form.

But as they are so small, nanoparticles are able to slip through the body's defenses and cause damage to the organs and tissues deep inside. In recent years, most researchers have focused solely on the therapeutic value of drugs or, at times, the performance of dosage forms, but few have given toxicity studies equal weight in their research.
