چکیده
The colon targeted drug delivery has a number of important implications in the field of pharmacotherapy. Oral colon targeted drug delivery systems have recently gained importance for delivering a variety of therapeutic agents for both local and systemic administration. Targeting of drugs to the colon via oral administration protect the drug from degradation or release in the stomach and small intestine. It also ensures abrupt or controlled release of the drug in the proximal colon. Various drug delivery systems have been designed that deliver the drug quantitatively to the colon and then trigger the release of drug. This review will cover different types of polymers which can be used in formulation of colon targeted drug delivery systems. INTRODUCTION: The oral route is considered to be most convenient for administration of drugs to patients. Oral administration of conventional dosage forms normally dissolves in the stomach fluid or intestinal fluid and absorb from these regions of the GIT depends upon the physicochemical properties of the drug. Natural polysaccharides are extensively used for the development of solid oral dosage forms for colonic delivery of drugs . Various bacteria present in the colon secretes many enzymes which can cause hydrolytic cleavage of glycosidic bonds e.g. β-D-galactosidase, amylase, pectinase, β-Dglucosidase, dextranase, α-D-xylosidase . These polymers are inexpensive and are available in a variety of structures. Linear polysaccharides remains intact in stomach and small intestine but the bacteria of human colon degrades them and thus make them potentially useful in colon targeted drug delivery systems . Guar gum is derived from the seeds of the cyomopsis tetragonolobus (Fam. Leguminosae). Chemically, guar gum is a polysaccharide composed of the sugars galactose and mannose. The backbone is a linear chain of β 1, 4-linked mannose residues to which galactose residues are 1, 6-linked at every second mannose, forming short side-branches [Figure 1] . FIGURE A: STRUCTURE OF GUAR GUM Pectin is a linear, heterogeneous polysaccharide which is mainly composed of galacturonic acid and its methyl ester. These are predominantly linear polymers of mainly (1→4) linked D-galacturonic acid residue interrupted by 1, 2-linked L-rhamnose residue with a few hundred to about one thousand building blocks per molecule [Figure 2] 5 .

A hydrophilic matrix tablet is the simplest and most cost-effective method of fabricating an extended release (ER) solid oral dosage form. The majority of commercially available matrix formulations are in the form of tablets, and their method of manufacture is similar to conventional tablet formulations: granulation, blending, compression and coating. In its simplest form, a typical ER matrix f...
