Okra Gum

By Santosh Kumar Rada

Mucoadhesive drug delivery systems are delivery systems which utilize the property of bioadhesion of certain polymers which become adhesive on hydration and hence can be used for targeting a drug to a particular region of the body for extended periods of time. Suitable polymers that can be used to form mucoadhesive systems include soluble and insoluble, non-biodegradable and biodegradable polymers. These can be hydrogels or thermo-plastics, homopolymeres, copolymers or blends, natural or synthetic polymers. In this book, the usage of Okra Gum, a natural mucoadhesive polymer, is discussed in detail.
