Abstract

Antileishmanial efficacy of Amphotericin B bearing polycaprolactone (PCL) microparticles was investigated. The microparticles were prepared, optimized and subjected to in vitro characterization for shape (spherically structured), particle size (9.83±1.12 m), entrapment efficiency (43.54±3.98%) and in vitro drug release. The study revealed that PCL microparticles bearing Amphotericin B can be effectively used to target leishmanial parasites residing in macrophages.
