| Summary: | The current study aims to improve drug release properties of orotic acid loaded with chitosan inclusion complex (OA/CS).
The OA/CS inclusion complex was synthesized using the freeze-drying technique. The characterization of inclusion OA/
CS was carried out using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), differential scanning
calorimetry (DSC), zeta sizer, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Furthermore, the size of OA/CS ranged between
58 nm and 200 nm, and the zeta potential was 30 mV. Thus, this study indicates that OA/CS has a promising future to develop
a carrier for drug delivery systems further.
