Conventional oral therapy for ulcerative colitis (UC) is associated with premature release or degradation of drugs in the harsh gastrointestinal environment, resulting in reduced therapeutic effectiveness. Consequently, the present study aims to develop a dual-targeted delivery system with a nanoparticle-in-microparticle (nano-in-micro) structure. The prepared Asiatic Acid-loaded delivery system (AA/CDM-BT-ALG) has pH-sensitive properties.
