Drugs are rarely administered as pure chemical substances alone and are almost always given as formulated preparations or medicines. Drug dosage forms contain many components in addition to the active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) to assist in the manufacturing process as well as to optimize drug delivery. Due to advances in drug delivery technology, excipients are currently included in novel do...

Work also emphasize to study gelling properties of extracted polysaccharide. Methods: Water based extraction procedure was used to extract polysaccharide from tamarind seed. Pha...

Recently sustained release dosage forms has become standards in the modern pharmaceutical design and intensive research has been undertaken in achieving much better drug product effectiveness. The sustained release product will optimize therapeutic effect and safety of a drug at the same time improving patient convenience and compliance. Prior to the development of these major dosage forms, it ...

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 fruits of Morus species from the Mulberry family (Moraceae) are traditionally consumed widely due to their positive effects on health. interest about its health effect increasing rich content bioactive components (flavonol, anthocyanin, flavanonol, phenolic acids, alkaloids), minerals (potassium, calcium, sodium, and magnesium), vitamins (vitamin B1 folic acid), oils (linoleic acid, palmiti...
