ABSTRACT

As a result of the search for abundant natural polymers and the desire to minimize the use of synthetic excipient in formulation development, new natural excipient are being discovered and new uses for existing excipient are being identified. They are safe and effective, which is why they are increasingly used in formulation development. Due to batch-to-batch variation and unreliable content uniformity, the use of natural gums and polymers in the development of pharmaceutical formulations is not as expected. The act of utilizing In addition, natural gum is a cheaper alternative to many existing excipient. Natural materials such as gums and mucilage are widely used in conventional and novel drug delivery methods, respectively. To identify the potential of natural polymers in modulating drug release from formulations of different dosage forms, and to demonstrate their utility in pharmaceutical drug carrier systems. They are designed primarily to provide controlled or sustained drug delivery. To determine the natural gum's physical and chemical properties, tests were performed on the gum's solubility, loss on drying and total and acid-insoluble ash content, as well as its swelling and micromeritic properties. Information about the use of natural polymers is provided in this article.
