The study examined the sustained release of neem from polymeric carrier system chitosan by varying drug content, ionic strength medium, and pH. Six different kinetic models, i.e., Korsmeyer-Peppas (KP), Peppas-Sahlin (PS), Higuchi, Hixson-Crowell, Zero order, First order were used to investigate kinetics. Based on R2 values, KP PS models chosen mechanism biopolymer. values found for model parameters n m in differ noticeably, suggesting that Fickian diffusion Case II relaxation are important components chitosan. At lower strengths pH is released composite mostly diffusion. diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl assay served assess composite's antioxidant properties. properties ranged 3.56 ± 1.89% at 10 μg/mL 51.28 1.14% 70 μg/mL. ability inhibit denaturation egg albumin was also tested it 59.68 0.93% 25 187.63 3.53% 1600 has exhibited antibacterial activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, proved be highly effective P. aeruginosa concentrations S. aureus higher concentrations. resulting inhibition zones 5 mg/mL 16.5 2.25 mm, 14.83 0.6 respectively, whereas 16.67 0.33 mm 20 mg/mL. neem-chitosan minimum inhibitory concentration/minimum bactericidal concentration ratio K. greater than 4, they trigger bacteriostatic outcomes, E. which means effects evident.
