Effect <strong>of</strong> oil phase volume on particle size <strong>of</strong>nano emulsions a C, S, O, B <strong>and</strong> T represents thecarvedilol, Sesame oil, Olive oil, Brij 97 <strong>and</strong> Tween 80respectively.1% tween 80 for the formulations (C14, C4, C7<strong>and</strong> C17) that showed maximum drug loading <strong>and</strong>narrow globule size <strong>and</strong> narrow PDI . The invitrodrug release pr<strong>of</strong>iles for the formulationsC14, C4, C7 <strong>and</strong> C17 were shown in Fig-2A <strong>and</strong>2B. The cumulative amount released was63.68±0.8%, 31.8±3.0%, 27.56±9.2%, <strong>and</strong>38.04±5.9% in formulations C14, C4, C7 <strong>and</strong> C17respectively. Plots <strong>of</strong> log % drug remaining againsttime were linear which indicates that the rate <strong>of</strong>drug release follows first order kinetics.X-ray diffraction studies: X-ray diffractionstudies were carried out to reveal the crystallinemodification <strong>of</strong> the drug during preparation <strong>of</strong> nanoKoteswari Poluri et al
