Mucoadhesive durg delivery systems are among novel drug delivery systems that due to their ability to adhere and remain on the mucosal surfaces and a show and sustained release of their drug contect have attracted special attention in recent years.the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of four different important factors on the  mucoadhesive strength of a few  mucoadhesive polymers.am...

The purpose of the study is to formulate and evaluate a new, cheap and effective natural mucoadhesive agent that can be used as an effective alternative for traditional mucoadhesive agent. The study procedure involved extraction of mucoadhesive agent from the Trigonellafoenumgraecum (fenugreek) seeds, solubility testing of the mucilage obtained, phytochemical testing, determination of swelling ...

The aim of this study was to formulate buccal mucoadhesive nanoparticles (NPs) using the natural mucoadhesive polymers. The natural mucoadhesive polymers chitosan (CS) and dextran sulfate sodium salt (DS) were used to prepare mucoadhesive NPs using the ionic gelation method. As the molecular weight of DS decreased, the amount of mucin and the number of buccal cells adsorbed on DS increased. The...
