Formulation and evaluation of sustained-release pitavastatin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles for enhanced anti-hyperlipidemic activity.
BACKGROUND Pitavastatin (PVN), a BCS class-II drug, exhibits poor aqueous solubility leading to limited oral bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to enhance the solubility and anti-hyperlipidemic efficacy of Pitavastatin (PVN) by encapsulating it in chitosan-based polymeric nanopartic...
