The Assessment of Mucoadhesivity of Natural Polymer Derived Form Plant Sources
Abstract
The main aim and objective of my present research work was to determine the various important mucoadhesive parameters such as mucoadhesive force, force of adhesion and bonding strength etc. Mucoadhesive properties of natural polymers were evaluated by formulating gels using Carbopol 940 P as a gelling agent. Mucoadhesive parameters of the prepared Carbopol 940 P gels containing natural polymers were determined by ex vivo followed by modified physical balance using excised cock intestinal mucosa. From the recent experimental data it was displayed that the mucoadhesive strength, force of adhesion and bonding strength of gel containing low methoxy pectin (1 % w/v) was found higher than other tested gels. The gel containing Moringa oleifera gum (1 % w/v) exhibited less mucoadhesion than other tested gels. The order of mucoadhesion of these plant-derived polymers was found as: low methoxy pectin > jackfruit seed starch > cashew gum/okra gum gum > pumpkin pectin > linseed mucilage > sago starch > gum Arabic > xanthan gum > fenugreek seed mucilage/black palm seed polysaccharide > Moringa oleifera gum.
