Mucilage extracted from Plantago psyllium seeds was evaluated for inertness and safety parameters. The suitability of psyllium mucilage for a pharmaceutical binder was assessed in paracetamol tablets. Properties of the granules prepared using different concentrations of psyllium mucilage was compared with PVP and tragacanth. Psyllium mucilage at 5 % (m/m) was found to be comparable with 3 % (m/...

To determine the evolutionary importance of parental environmental effects in natural populations, we must begin to measure the magnitude of these effects in the field. For this reason, we conducted a combined growth chamber-field experiment to measure parental temperature effects in Plantago lanceolata. We grew in the field offspring of controlled crosses of chamber-grown parents subjected to ...

Polyphenolic compounds constitute one of the most characteristic classes of compounds in higher plants. Cinnamic acid derivates (e.g. caffeic, ferulic and p-coumaric acid) occur widely in higher plants as ester or glycosides. Quinic acid and monocaffeates, especially chlorogenic acid, are the most widely present ester derivates. Besides, a large number of other simple esters and glycosides (mai...

drug delivery via buccal mucosa by means of buccoadhesive formulations offer distinct advantages over peroral administration. recently, plant gums and exudates have been screened for their use as pharmaceutical adjuvants. the aim of this study is to evaluate matrix tablets containing plantago psyllium seed mucilage in addition to carbopol as a mucoadhesive agent, and propranolol hydrochloride a...

Plantago major (PM), also known as plantain, is a weed found in temperate zones worldwide. PM leaves have been associated with various biological properties ranging from antiinflammatory, antimicrobial and antitumour to wound healing. However, its mechanism of action associated with boosting of the immune function remains to be elucidated. We found that endotoxin-free methanol extracts from PM ...

Background: Plantago lanceolata L. (ribwort plantain) and major (broadleaf are widely used in ethnobotanical studies for treating various diseases. This study aims to investigate the antimicrobial activity chemical compounds of these plants. Methods: The leaf extracts P. were fractioned using different solvents. phytochemical screening was carried out by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC...
