Cross-Linked Guar Gum Hydrogel Discs for Colon-Specific Delivery of Ibuprofen: Formulation and In Vitro Evaluation

Abstract: Hydrogel discs of guar gum cross-linked with glutaraldehyde were prepared as vehicles for colon-specific drug delivery. Ibuprofen was chosen as model drug. The discs were evaluated for such parameters as size, shape, weight, and drug loading. Swelling (buffer uptake) and in vitro drug release study, in presence and absence of rat caecal contents, was performed in simulated gastric fluid (pH 1.2) and simulated intestinal fluid (pH 7.4) to evaluate the effect of various formulation parameters like guar gum conce… Show more

“…Given the fact that modified polysaccharide has more stability against enzyme than its natural form, more attention has been paid, particularly to a cross-linked polysaccharide which is known to have a lower swelling property than its natural form [8,9]. Gliko-Kabir et al showed that the swelling property of guar gum was reduced significantly after being cross-linked with glutaraldehyde [10].…”

“…Several hydrogels are currently being investigated as potential devices for colon-specific drug delivery. These include chemically or physically cross-linked polysaccharides, such as dextran, guar gum, azo cross-linked poly(acrylic acid), amidated pectin, and inulin [91][92][93]. They are designed to be highly swollen or degraded in the presence of colonic enzymes or microflora, providing colon specificity in drug delivery [94].…”

“…The main difference between them is that mucilage does not dissolve in water whereas gum dissolves in water and makes hydro-gel. Acacia, tragacanth, gum ghatti, gum karaya, and Ocimum bascilium are popular examples of plant mucilages with a demonstrate values in pharmaceutical applications (2,(16)(17)(18)(19).…”
