Present work was aimed to develop and investigate phosphatidylcholinatedphytosome system based on triterpenoid fraction of Terminalia Arjuna (TFTA) for secure and efficient delivery of triterpenoid to enhanced bioavailability. Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) a green method with a significant reduction in extraction time and organic solvent consumption has been selected and successful extraction of triterpenoids with good yield. Planterosomes a novel carrier for drug delivery of triterpenoid fraction of Terminalia Arjuna were effectively fabricated with a specified molar ratio of 7:3 of TFTA-PC complex and cholesterol in chloroform: methanol (3:1) by the thin layer film hydration method and examined for particle size, zeta potential, drug entrapment efficiency, scanning electron microscopy, FTIR and differential scanning calorimetry study. Formulation of planterosomes showed a narrow size distribution with an average diameter of 381.2 ± 1.82 nm. The entrapment efficiency (EE) of TFTA was 87.94 ± 0.41%. Release study demonstrated prolonged triterpenoid release from phytosomes following higuchi release kinetics with r2 = 0.995. Ex-vivo permeation studies demonstrated the presence of significant absorption of TFTA-PC complex as compared to the TFTA and thereby, the superiority of complex which may be due to the amphiphilic nature of complex which greatly enhance the lipid miscibility of TFTA. From stability studies it was conclude that drug leakage was not significant at storage condition which suitable for vesicles. Conclusively, TFTA loaded planterosomes might be an efficient carrier for triterpenoids which enhance the absorption triterpenoids across the biological membrane for effective management of curing various diseases.
