They are composed of hydrophilic or amphiphilic polymer networks that are malleable and can be cross-linked mechanically or chemically. Drugs that are poorly soluble in water can be made more soluble by employing a variety of technologies. Using the spontaneous emulsification method, oleic acid was used as the oil phase while Tween 80 and PEG 400 served as the surfactant and co-surfactant, respectively, to form etodolac nanoemulsion (ETD NE). It was discovered that the ideal zeta potential, PDI, and ETD NE particle size were, respectively, -36.2 mV, 0.363, and 220.0 nm. Particle size, PDI, and zeta potential of the ETD loaded chitosan-based nanogel were found to be 230.4 nm, 0.376, and -37.1 mV, respectively. There were no interactions between the drug and excipients, according to the FTIR spectra. The TEM pictures of the NE and the ETD nanogel show that the oil droplets have a spherical shape. For eight hours, it was discovered that the in-vitro drug release of NE and nanogel was 80.47% and 74.61%, respectively.</p></abstract>
