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 this study was to design and optimize an oral controlled release acyclovir mucoadhesive tablet, in term of its drug release and mucoadhesive strength. a 32 full factorial design was employed to study the effect of independent variables like carbopol-934p and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose k100m, which significantly influence characteristics like swelling index, ex-vivo mucoadhesiv...

Mucoadhesive polymer owing to its binding capacity with gastric mucin prolongs the gastric residence time and thereby increased drug bioavailability. In the present study, oral controlled release mucoadhesive matrix tablets have been developed for domperidone as model drug using natural mucoadhesive material myrrh oleo gum resin (MOGR).The tablets were formulated with the natural polymer in dif...

The mucoadhesive disks of various polymers were fabricated with objective of comparing the mucoadhesive strength and mucoretentability with the isolated DPP. The mucoadhesive polymers used in formulations were sodium carboxy methyl cellulose, carbopol (cp934), hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC K4M), and date palm fruit pulp polysaccharide (DPP). These formulations were characterized for ph...

The main aim of the present investigation was to develop in situ gelling mucoadhesive liquid suppositories of ondansetron by using mucoadhesive polymers such as sodium alginate, methyl cellulose and polyvinylpyrrolidone. Polyethylene glycol was used to modify gelation temperature. Mucoadhesive liquid suppositories of ondansetron were prepared by adding mucoadhesive polymers (0.8% w/w) to the fo...

A novel mucoadhesive buccal tablet containing flurbiprofen (FLB) and lidocaine HCl (LID) was prepared to relieve dental pain. Tablet formulations (F1-F9) were prepared using variable quantities of mucoadhesive agents, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and sodium alginate (SA). The formulations were evaluated for their physicochemical properties, mucoadhesive strength and mucoadhesion time, ...

the aim of this study was to investigate the rheological behavior and mucoadhesive nature of saliva substitutes, by incorporating various mucoadhesive polymers into an artificial saliva pump spray formulation. for this purpose various mucoadhesive polymers including cellulosic polymers in the range of 0.1-1.0% and carbomers such as c974p, c971, c934p and c971 in the range of 0.01-0.1% were adde...

The objective of this study was formulation and evaluation of mucoadhesive nanoparticles of acyclovir. Nanoparticles were prepared by one step desolvation method by using gelatin as a mucoadhesive polymer. The effects of amount of gelatin and Pluronic F-68 on particle size, polydispersity index, entrapment efficiency, loading efficiency, mucoadhesive strength were studied. Nanoparticulate formu...
