  Abstract

This work reports the inclusion of crocin (an active agent of saffron) into bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) membrane for transdermal drug delivery. The BNC showed good uptake of the crocin based on the swelling studies and vibrational peaks of the FTIR spectra. Surface morphology of the crocin loaded BNC showed that the fibrous nano feature was still intact with no fiber damages. The crocin release via direct dissolution showed typical burst release. Franz diffusion test revealed stable and prolong drug permeation. Partition coefficient of the BNC-crocin via mice epidermal skin diffusion was found to be 2.44
