The aim of the present study is development and characterization of silymarin nanosponges and its tablet formulation targeted for Liver cirrhosis. Nanosponge is a modern category of material and is composed of minute particles with small, nanometer-wide cavities. Different kinds of materials can be used to fill these little cavities. These tiny particles have the potential to transport both hydrophilic and lipophilic drug substances, which can boost the stability of molecules or drugs that are poorly water soluble and also bioavailability. Utilizing a methodical quality by Design approach, silymarin-loaded nanosponge were produced and optimized, first, the Critical quality attributes (CQAs) and Critical material attributes (CMAs) of the nanosponge formulation were determined (CMAs). The present work aimed to design and optimize nanosponge with higher drug entrapped efficiency, Drug content and better stability. The formulation was optimized by 3 factor 3 level Box-Bechken design using Polymer concentration(X1), Stirring time(X2) and Stirring rate(X3) as independent variable (CMAs). Particle size (Y1). Entrapment efficiency (Y2), Percentage practical yield (Y3) and Drug content (Y4) was evaluated as dependent variables. Optimized formulation was then evaluated for FTIR, DSC, XRD, Particle size analysis, Zeta potential, SEM. Formulation was also found stable at different storage condition as dependent CQAs. Optimized formulation was then evaluated for FTIR, Particle size analysis, Zeta potential, SEM & Hepatoprotective activity
