A chitosan-coated luteolin-loaded phytocubosomal system was prepared to improve the pharmacodynamic performance of luteolin in the treatment of glaucoma and ocular inflammation after topical ocular administration. Luteolin, a potent anti-oxidant herbal drug with poor aqueous solubility, was complexed with phospholipid. The prepared phytocubosomes were coated with chitosan, producing homogenously distributed nanosized particles (258 ± 9.

Ophthalmic delivery of luteolin (LU) was studied after formulating a carrageenan-based novel ion-sensitive in situ gel (ISG) incorporating oleophytocubosomes for prolonged ocular residence time and improved ocular bioavailability of the poorly absorbed herbal drug luteolin. The prepared oleophytocubosomes and ISG were compared with LU suspension. Optimized oleophytocubosomes possessed small, homogenously distributed negatively charged particles with high entrapment efficiency.
