The aim of the present study is to develop a complex of standardized Tamarindus indica (STI) and phospolipid with a goal to improve the bioavailability of its phytoconstituents. Tamarind is a flavonoid, glycoside that possesses different therapeutic activity.The poor solubility and dissolution rate limit its oral absorption and bioavailability. The phospholipid-STI complex was prepared using solvent evaporation method and characterized by various parameters like Solubility studies, Particle size determination, Infrared absorption (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Entrapment efficiency etc. SEM reveal the reduction in crystallinity of extract in the complex. FTIR confirm the formation of phytophospholipid complex. The in vitro dissolution studies revealed a significantly higher efficiency of complex in releasing the STI in comparison to the pure STI, or the physical mixture. Phospholipid complex of STI may be of potential use in increasing the permeability and hence the bioavailability of tamarind. The result of the study revealed that the phospholipid complex may be considered as a promising drug delivery system that improves the absorption and bioavailability of plant constituents.
