Background and objectives: Melasma is one of the most common pigmentary disorders. It has a considerable impact on quality of life. The treatment of melasma has still remained a challenge because the efficient treatment has not been proven until now and there is still a need to find new depigmenting products.Allium cepa L. and Cucumis melo L. seeds as well as ...

Nanoparticles or microparticles created by physical complexation between two polyelectrolytes may have a prospective use as an excipient for oral insulin administration. Natural polymers such as tragacanth, alginate, dextran, pullulan, hyaluronic acid, gelatin and chitosan can be potential candidates for this purpose. In this research, insulin particles were prepared by the inclusion of insulin...

Introduction: Anal fissures are small tears in the lining skin of the anus presenting with typical symptoms of pain and bleeding during defecation. Several new forms of medicines such as glyceryle trinitrate (GTN) ointments and diltiazem, a calcium channel-blocking agent, have been recently used for the treatment of these fissures. Diltiazem relaxes the muscle of anal sphincter and consequently...

AgNPs-Tragacanth conjugate gel as an eco friendly and low cost membrane was applied for the effective electromembrane extraction (EME) of Tenofovir disproxil fumarate, an important acidic and high polar (log p=1.25) antiviral drug, followed by HPLC-UV determination. The effect of various parameters on the extraction efficiency including the presence of AgNPs, tragacanth gum concentration, gel t...

In present study, two kinds of thermal power plant ashes; one the fly ash and the other waste ash are mixed with adhesive tragacanth and cement to produce new composite materials. 48 new samples are produced by varying the percentages of the fly ash, waste ash, cement and tragacanth. The new samples are subjected to some tests to find out their properties such as thermal conductivity, compressi...

BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Extrusion-spheronization is an established technique for the production of pellets for pharmaceutical applications. In this study, the feasibility and influence of the incorporation of acacia, by itself and in combination with tragacanth, on the ability of formulations containing 2 model of drugs (ibuprofen and theophylline) to form spherical pellets by e...

α-Fe2O3 (hematite) nanoparticles were synthesized using tragacanth gel as biotemplate andiron chloride as the iron source by the sol-gel method. This method has many advantages suchas nontoxic, economic viability, ease to scale up, less time consuming and environmentalfriendly approach for the synthesis of α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles without using any organicchemicals. Nanoparticles were characterize...

The objective was to describe and recommend the most effective combination of Natural-Based Product (NBP) mucoadhesive for Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis (RAS) treatment. This systematic review writing based on PRISMA guidelines. articles published in last 10 y were selected using PubMed Google Scholar database carried out during May 2021. keywords were: natural-based product, mucoadhesive, Stom...

Buccal matrices represent a widely accepted dosage form permitting convenient, easy, reliable drug administration and reducing errors. The aim of this study was the development mucoadhesive buccal for propranolol in children. Matrices were obtained by freeze-drying loaded polymeric solutions based on gum tragacanth (GT), pectin (PEC), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), sodium hyaluronate (HA)...

Date syrup as a nutritional additive and safe alternative to added sugar is one of the best choices for milk flavoring. In this study, a flavored milk beverage was formulated using date syrup for flavoring the product and gum tragacanth to obtain an acceptable mouth feel. Steady shear and dynamic oscillatory rheological properties of the samples contained 3 concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3%...
