  • The study focused on creating a self nano-emulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) to improve the oral delivery of heparin, a typically hydrophilic macromolecule.
  • Researchers developed hydrophobic complexes by combining heparin with a cationic polymer (β-cyclodextrin) and assessed their properties through various tests, including partition coefficients and microscopic imaging.
  • Findings showed that the optimized SNEDDS produced nano-droplets with desirable characteristics for drug delivery, indicating their potential effectiveness for administering heparin orally without sudden release in the stomach or intestines.
