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...

background previous reports have shown that quince seed might have some healing effects on skin ulcers in rabbits. objectives to assess the potential healing effect of quince seed cream on human skin ulcers. patients and methods the present study was a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial. fifty patients with skin ulcer caused by disposable biopsy punch 5 mm were allocated in two groups (...

Background: Tissue culture is a new approach for production of secondary metabolites with many advantages over conventional methods. Elicitors such as nano particles are molecules that can stimulate the production of secondary metabolites. Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of some nano particles on mucilage production in Linum usitatissimum under tissue culture condit...

‘Hafif Çukurgöbek’ loquat budded on three quince rootstock (BA-29, A, and C) were evaluated in 2018 2019 Hatay, Turkey. Fruit ripening was the earliest BA-29 both years. The highest fruit weight obtained from Quince-C followed by rootstock, Quince-A rootstock. yielded significantly higher values terms of seed number, weight, flesh/seed ratio. rootstocks had similar total soluble solids, while l...

Cactus is a plant that naturally grows in tropical and semi-tropical regions of the world. The composition of this mucilage is believed to differ from species to species. Hence, comparative study was carried out on mucilages of Opuntia ficus-indica (OFI) and Opuntia stricta (OS) as regard to their physico-chemical properties and acute toxicity levels. The study indicated that solubility of the ...

The main objective of the present study was to develop matrix-moderated transdermal systems of Diltiazem HCl using various proportions of Ficus reticuleta fruit mucilage. Physical evaluation was performed such as moisture content, moisture uptake, tensile strength, flatness and folding endurance. In-vitro penetration studies were performed in a Keshary-Chien diffusion cell. The matrix-type tran...

An increasing interest in the use of natural polymers or gums in pharmaceutical formulations focusing the tremendous orientation to discover and extract such gums. The pharmaceutical industry is ever thirsty to satisfy patient’s therapeutic needs by utilizing inactive excipients along with active ingredients in formulation development. Binders are added to tablet formulations to add cohesivenes...

Plants have the capability to produce an extensive variety of chemical compounds that in turn exert important biological functions and modify different pathological conditions in both human and animals. In this way medicinal plants mediate their effects through Chemical compounds and these processes are identical to those already well understood for the chemical compounds in conventional drugs....
