A study on dispersion and characterisation of α-mangostin loaded pH sensitive microgel systems

摘要

Backgroundα-Mangostin was extracted with methanol from the rind of mangosteen fruit and purified by using silica gel column chromatography technique. The compound is characterised using infrared, ¹³C and ¹H NMR as well as UV–vis spectroscopy. The α-mangostin dispersion in colloidal systems was studied by incorporating it with an ionic microgel, poly (N-Isopropylacrylamide)-co-2VP at different pH.
