Natural Gums and Modified Natural Gums as Sustained-Release Carriers

Abstract: Although natural gums and their derivatives are used widely in pharmaceutical dosage forms, their use as biodegradable polymeric materials to deliver bioactive agents has been hampered by the synthetic materials. These natural polysaccharides do hold advantages over the synthetic polymers, generally because they are nontoxic, less expensive, and freely available. Natural gums can also be modified to have tailor-made materials for drug delivery systems and thus can compete with the synthetic biodegradable excip… Show more

“…Chemically, mucilages resemble gums and pectins but differ in their physical properties. Gums swell in water to form sticky, colloidal dispersions and pectins gelatinize in water, while mucilages form slippery, aqueous colloidal dispersions (Bhardwaj et al, 2000;Jani, Shah, 2008). Gums are considered to be pathological products formed upon injury of the plant or owing to unfavorable conditions such as drought, by a breakdown of cell walls (extracellular).…”

“…11,12 The presence of a number of amino groups permits CGG to chemically react with XG, thus ensuing in amendment of physiochemical characteristics and release performance of such combinations. 13 Diclofenac sodium is used in the long-term symptomatic treatment of an kylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Its biologic half-life has been reported as 1-2 h. gastrointestinal side effects are commonly seen.…”
