description Diabetes treatment requires focused administration with quality systemic circulation to determine the optimal therapeutic window. Intestinal distribution through oral administration with nanoformulation provides several benefits. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to create plumbagin enclosed within niosomes using the quality by design (QbD) strategy for efficient penetration and increased bioavailability. The formulation and optimization of plumbagin-loaded niosomes (P-Ns-Opt) involved the use of a Box–Behnken Design. The particle size (PDI) and entrapment efficiency of the optimized P-Ns-Opt were 133.6 nm, 0.150, and 75.6%, respectively. TEM, DSC, and FTIR were used to analyze the morphology and compatibility of the optimized P-Ns-Opt. Studies conducted in vitro revealed a controlled release system. P-Ns-Opt’s antioxidant activity, α-amylase, and α-glucosidase were evaluated, and the results revealed a dose-dependent efficacy with 60.68 ± 0.02%,90.69 ± 2.9%, and 88.43 ± 0.89%, respectively. In summary, the created P-Ns-Opt demonstrate remarkable potential for antidiabetic activity by inhibiting oxygen radicals, α-amylase, and α-glucosidase enzymes and are, therefore, a promising drug delivery nanocarrier in the management and treatment of diabetes.
