Mucoadhesive buccal tablets containing ondansetron hydrochloride (ODH) were prepared using polymers like gelatin, chitosan, xanthan gum in varying concentration of 5, 10, 15% w/w and HPMC K4M 40% w/w by direct compression technique. Precompressional studies revealed good micromeritic properties of powder blend for compression and were found as per literature limits. The prepared tablets were ev...

Plants gums are complex mixtures of different polysaccharides with a variety of biological activities and pharmaceutical applications. Few studies have focused on physicochemical and biological properties of gums obtained from different plants. This study was designed to determine potential pharmaceutical and pharmacological values of the gum exudates and its isolated biopolymers obtained from ...

The aim of the present study was to formulate and evaluate nystatin containing thermosensitive mucoadhesive gel for vaginal drug delivery to achieve prolonging the residence time, sustained drug release, enhancing efficacy, decreasing recurrence, and increasing patient compliance in the treatment for vaginal candidiasis. Here nystatin (1%) as a model drug. A 3 full factorial design was employed...

BACKGROUND Nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems have been widely used for oral and systemic dosage forms delivery depending on the mucoadhesive interaction, and keratin has been applied for biomedical applications and drug delivery. However, few reports have focused on the keratin-based mucoadhesive drug delivery system and their mechanisms of mucoadhesion. Thus, the mucoadhesion controll...

Aim: Mucoadhesive buccal films provide drug delivery for both local and systemic circulation with increased patient compliance. The objective of this study was to develop a film containing benzydamine hydrochloride (BNZ) by using hyaluronic acid (HA) as film-forming agent glycerin (Gly) plasticizer the anti-inflammatory effect on mucosal ulcer. Material Methods: effects different concentrations...

The purpose of the study was to develop Tizanidine HCl (TZN) and Meloxicam (MLX) loaded bilayer mucoadhesive films intended for buccal administration, aiming to enhance the bioavailability. Bilayer films were prepared by solvent evaporation technique selecting arabinoxylan (ARX) as a sustained release (SR) layer forming polymer and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) E-15 as an immediate relea...

The purpose of present investigation was to develop and optimize bucco mucoadhesive bilayered tablets of Propranolol hydrochloride (PrHCL) using the bioadhesive polymers hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC K4M), xanthan gum (XG) and acrypol 934P (AL-P) individually and in combination along with ethyl cellulose (EC) as an impermeable backing layer. The 3 full factorial design was employed by ...

the purpose of the research was to formulate microspheres of acyclovir (acv) using mucoadhesive polymers, sodium alginate and chitosan. calcium chloride was used as the ionotropic gelling agent. sodium alginate was crosslinked by calcium chloride leading to a slower release of the drug. chitosan which is a cationic polymer interacted with sodium alginate, an anionic polymer, to form an interpol...
