Novel mucoadhesive buccal tablets (NMBTs) of oxytocin were prepared as cores in cup fashion to release and permeate the drug unidirectionally toward the buccal mucosa to reach the systemic circulation directly. Adhesive cups for NMBTs were prepared with mucilage (DPM) isolated from edible Diospyros peregrina fruit. Mucoadhesive properties like shear and tensile and peel strengths of the adhesiv...

Aims: This work aims to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Sarcocephalus latifolius extracts.
 Methodology: Thus, phytochemical screening was qualitatively accessed using colorations or precipitations methods. Ethanolic and aqueous extracts were used activity. The activity, diffusion method, evaluated on eight strains including two reference (Streptococcus pneumoniae ATCC 49619 Pseudom...
