Abstract
This study delves into the synergisti c amalgamati on of
Coscinium fenestratum, an Ayurvedic medicinal plant,
and chitosan biopolymer. This results in the innovati ve
Venivel Chitosan Composite, which has established a
pioneering drug delivery system. Subsequently, the
composite material, Venivel Chitosan Composite, was
formulated by integrati ng Coscinium fenestratum
extract and chitosan biopolymer. Structural
characteristi cs of Chitosan biopolymer and Venivel
Chitosan Composite were determined via scanning
electron microscopy (SEM), off ering valuable insights
into their morphological features. Furthermore, a
comprehensive characterizati on of the composite
was achieved through the analysis of X-ray diff racti on
(XRD) patt erns, elucidati ng its crystalline structure. A
meti culous examinati on of the in vitro drug release
profi le revealed a predominant diff usion mechanism,
indicati ng the potenti al suitability of this system
for applicati ons in wound healing treatments. In
conclusion, integrati ng Coscinium fenestratum with
chitosan biopolymer presents a versati le composite
with promising anti bacterial, anti oxidant, and anti -
infl ammatory properti es, elevati ng its potenti al for
targeted and controlled ayurvedic drug delivery
applicati ons.
