TITLE OF THE TOPIC “EVALUATION OF BINDING AND SUSPENDING PROPERTY OF NEEM GUM, BANANA PEEL MUCILAGE AND ORANGE PEEL PECTIN AS PHARMACEUTICAL EXCIPIENTS.” 2 6.0 BRIEF REVIEW OF THE INTENDED WORK 6.1. NEED FOR THE STUDY: The oral route of administration is the most preferred route than other routes of administration due to various advantages including self administration, compactness, avoidance of pain, versatility and most importantly patient compliance.1 Solid oral dosage forms represents the preferred class of product, as tablet represents a unit dosage form in which one usual dose of the drug has been accurately placed. It avoids errors in the total dose to be taken when the drug is self administered by the patient. Pharmaceutical suspensions are biphasic liquid dosage forms of medicament in which the finely divided solid particles are dispersed in a liquid or semisolid vehicle. The internal phase (solid) is dispersed throughout the external phase (fluid). The addition of suspending agents is essential in order to stabilize these systems. These suspending agents increase the stability, easy redispersibility, enhance pourability and prevent compact cake formation. Gums, mucilages and pectins are having variety of applications in pharmaceutical field. Gum is a by product obtained as a result of metabolic mechanisms of plants. Gums are readily dissolved in water. Gums are used in pharmaceutical field as tablet binders, disintegrants, emulsifiers, suspending agents, gelling agents, stabilizing agents and thickening agents. The sources of gums are marine origin: agar, carrageenans, alginic acid and laminarin. Plant origin: (1) shrubs/tree exudates—gum arabica, gum ghatti, gum karaya, gum tragacanth, khaya and albizia gums; (2) seed gums—guar gum, locust bean gum, starch, amylose, cellulose; (3) extracts—pectin, larch gum; (4) tuber and roots—potato starch.2 Neem gum is obtained from Azadiracta indica belongs to family Meliaceae. Neem gum is clear, bright and amberd coloured material, non-bitter in nature and is soluble in cold water. It contains mannose, glucosamine, arabinose, galactose, fructose, xylose and glucose. Very little information about usage of neem gum as binding agent3 and suspending agent is available in literature. In the present study attempts shall be made to utilize the neem gum as binding and suspending agent. Mucilages are polysaccharide complexes formed from sugar and uronic acid units. Mucilages will form slimy masses with water. Mucilages are used as binding agent, suspending agent and thickening agent2. The sources of mucilage are musaparadisical pulp, acacia senegal, Abelmoschues esculentus mucilage etc.4 Botanical name of banana fruit is Musa paradisiaca 3 belongs to family Musaceae. Banana peel is thickening and adhesive in nature. In the present study, attempts shall be made to utilize dried powder of banana peel mucilage as suspending and binding agent. Pectin is a structurally heteropolysaccharide contained in the primary cell walls of terrestrial plants. Pectin mainly consists of partial methyl esters of polygalacturonic acid and their sodium, potassium, calcium and ammonium salts. Pectins have been used in food industry in jams and jellies but recently they are being explored for their other pharmaceutical applications as binding agent5 and suspending agent. The sources of pectin are orange, apple, quince, plume, gooseberry, cherries and grapes etc. Botanical name of orange fruit is Citrus sinensis belongs to family Rutaceae. Orange peel consists of pectin, essential oils, cellulose, proteins and simple carbohydrates. Pectin occurs as a white to light brown powder or granules. It has advantages like binding, suspending and thickening agent. The synthetic pectins used as excipients have many disadvantages such as high cost, toxicity and nonbiodegradable. Natural pectins are easy to extract, purify, non toxic and biocompatable. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) that possess analgesic and anti inflammatory actions for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Any one of the suitable anti-inflammatory drug will be utilized as model drug in this study. Today, the pharmaceutical industry is mainly depending on only few natural gums such as acacia, tragacanth, guar gum and veegum, but prices of these few gums are increasing constantly. Pharmaceutical gums such as acacia and veegum maintain sizable markets in spite of fluctuations in their availability. India has been importing majority of gums due to lack of availability of them. Traditionally supply of gum arabic has relied on Sudan and West-African countries. In order to save the Indian economy and to reduce the import of gums, there is need to find alternative binding and suspending agents. Therefore, a suitable substitutes (gums, pectins, mucilages) would be welcomed both for local and international use. In view of the disadvantages of synthetic polymers used as expients in pharmaceutical formulations, there is a need to find suitable substitute from natural sources. The objectives of the present study is to investigate feasibility of utilizing neem gum, orange peel pectin and banana peel mucilage as binding and suspending agents in formulation of tablets and suspensions employing any one of suitable anti-inflammatory drug. 4 6.2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE: Paracetamol tablets were prepared by wet granulation technique using mangifera indica gum as a tablet binder was formulated by Anoop KS et al. The prepared tablets were evaluated for their quality control tests. Friability of the tablets range from 1.12 to 0.26 % and the disintegration time from 3 to 8 min. The binding efficacy of the mangifera indica gum was compared with the standard binder gum acacia at similar concentration (5% w/w). The tablets hardness prepared from mangifera indica gum varies from 6.3 to 6.8 kg/cm2 which are comparable with the standard binder, gum acacia (4.8 kg/cm2). It was concluded that mangifera indica gum can be used as a binding agent in the formulation of tablet dosage forms.6 Study was carried out to find out the potential of almond gum as a tablet binder and release retardant in formulations designed by Sarojini S et al. Seven formulations were prepared by wet granulation method by using diclofenac sodium as model drug. The release effects of almond gum and polyvinylpyrrolidine (PVP) on the diclofenac sodium was studied by using 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10% w/v of almond gum solution and 2, 4% w/v of PVP gum solution. The results showed that drug release was increased with almond gum when compared to synthetic gum concentration of 2 and 4%. Tablet at 2% w/v binder concentration showed optimum results as tablet binder. They concluded that almond gum was found to be useful for the preparation of uncoated tablet dosage form.7 Dendropthoe falcata mucilage was evaluated as a binder for pharmaceutical dosage forms developed by Kothawade SN et al. Tablets were prepared with dendropthoe falcata mucilage and evaluated for tablet characteristics. Wet granulation technique was used for the preparation paracetamol granules. The tablet binder concentrations used in formulations were 2, 4, 6 & 8 % w/w. The evaluation of granules showed 32 to 34º angle of repose. Tablets were compressed to hardness at about 6.6 to 6.9 kg/cm2 with friability 0.98 to 0.53 % and 10 to 17 min of disintegration time and more than 90 % dissolution in 70 min. Tablets at 6 % w/w binder concentration showed more optimum results as tablet binder. Thus dendropthoe falcata mucilage was found to be useful for preparation of uncoated tablet dosage form.8 5 Plantain starch obtained from the unripe fruit of the plant musa paradisiaca L. (Musaceae) was used to as binding agent and paracetamol tablets were prepared. Mechanical and disintegration properties of these tablets were compared with tablets in which corn starch BP using a 23 factorial experimental was design by Akin-Ajani OD et al. Tablets containing plantain starch had lower tensile strength and disintegration time values than those containing corn starch, but showed better ability to reduce the lamination and capping tendency in paracetamol tablet formulation. They concluded that plantain starch could be useful as an alternative binding agent to cornstarch, especially where faster disintegration is required and the problems of lamination and capping are of particular concern.9 Isolated pectin from mango peel utilized as superdisintegrating agent along with sodium starch glycolate was designed by Rishiabha M et al. Tablets prepared with mango peel pectin showed comparatively lesser release of drug as compared to sodium starch glycolate for a specific period of time. They concluded that mango peel pectin can not be used as superdisintegrating agent but due to its good solubility and higher swelling index, it may be used in fast dispersible formulations.10 Preliminary trials were made to isolate pectin from dried orange fruit peel to assess its binding property in tablets using paracetamol as model drug was formulated by Pranati S et al. The tablets prepared with pectin were compared with a reference batch of starch as binding agent. On the basis of drug release behavior it was said that release of all four batches under study was less than that of reference batch. They concluded that orange peel was better binder over commercially used synthetic binders.11 These studies indicates usage of orange peel pectin as binding agent, however, further investigations are need in assessing other quality parameters. The suspending property of Khaya senegalensis (Family Meliaceae) gum in Co-trimoxazole suspension was evaluated by Mahmud HS et al. The gum obtained from corresponding plant was processed and its physicochemical properties such as solubility, water sorption, pH and rheology were determined. The gum was used to formulate 4.8% w/v co-trimoxazole suspension in concentrations of 0.2-5.0% w/v. Acacia senegal gum was used as a standard for comparison. The prepared suspensions were stable, pourable and redispersible with no evidence of crystal growth. Khaya senegalensis gum at 0.2% w/v was able to suspend co6 trimoxazole. The suspensions remained flocculated, aesthetic in appearance and stable throughout the four weeks period of storage. They concluded that Khaya senegalensis gum was potential to be used at 0.2% w/v concentrations as suspending agents.12 In order to select a new cheap, effective alternative natural suspending agent for pharmaceutical suspensions Raj D et al., performed comparative studies between the Leucaena Latisiliqua seed gum and other gums like tragacanth, acacia. Leucaena Latisiliqua seed was boiled and the seed gum was extracted with acetone, dried and powdered. Different type of zinc oxide suspensions were prepared by using Leucaena Latisiliqua seed gum, tragacanth and acacia. Further effect of type and concentration of suspending agent on sedimentation volume, viscosity and particle size were studied. Result showed that sedimentation volume, viscosity, and the particle size were found directly proportional to the concentration of suspending agent and inversely proportional to the flow rate. The suspending ability of the suspending agents were in the order of Leucaena Latisiliquagum > tragacanth > acacia. It was concluded that the gum of Leucaena Latisiliqua can be employed as stabilizer and thickener of choice when high viscosity is desired.13 In order to find a cheap and effective natural excipient for pharmaceutical suspensions the mucilage from the pods of Abelmoschus esculentus was extracted by Ravi K et al. The mucilage extracted was devoid of toxicity. Suspensions of paracetamol were prepared and compared with different concentrations (1%, 2%, 3% and 4% w/v) of Abelmoschus esculentus mucilage, sodium carboxy methyl cellulose and tragacanth gum. Their sedimentation profile, redispersibility, degree of flocculation and rheolgical behavior were also compared. The mucilage under study was found to be a superior suspending agent than tragacanth and is comparable to sodium caboxy methyl cellulose. Studies indicated that the mucilage of Abelmoschus esculentus may be used as a suspending agent at 4% w/v. It was concluded that mucilage of Abelmoschus esculentus can be employed as stabilizer and thickener of choice when high viscosity is desired especially in pharmaceutical and food industries.14 The Tamarind seed polysaccharide (TSP) possesses properties like high viscosity, broad pH tolerance, no carcinogenicity, mucoadhesive nature, and biocompatibility. In literature an attempt was made by Deveswaran R et al., to use TSP as suspending agent in nimesulide suspension. The obtained suspensions were compared with the marketed product. The 7 suspensions prepared with TSP were redispersed uniformly without any deposits. The average size of the particles in the suspension was found to be 35.4 μm and the drug content of all the formulations were in the range of 95-98%. The rheological study of the formulations indicated that as the rpm increased the viscosity decreased, confirming the shear thinning nature of the suspension. The suspension was found to be stable during the entire period of study. They concluded that isolated TSP powder can be used as an effective suspending agent.15 Suspending properties of different natural polymers (tamarind seed polysaccharide, tragacanth, acacia and gelatin) were evaluated and compared with each other was designed by Rishaba M et al. Different polymers at concentration range of 1, 4, 5 % w/v are used to prepare paracetamol suspension. Sedimentation volume (%), rheology and particle size analysis were employed as evaluation parameters. On the basis of results obtained suspending ability of the polymers was graded and found to be in the specific order: Tragacanth gum > Acacia gum > Gelatin > tamarind seed polysaccharide. They concluded that, due to the high viscosity of tragacanth gum, it can be a stabilizer of choice when high viscosity is desired.16 6.3.
