3. CHARACTERISATION AND APPLICATION OF NATIVE AND CROSS-LINKED CASHEW (Anacardium occidentale L.) GUM IN TABLETTING
ABSTRACT
The exudate from cashew tree, referred to as cashew gum (CG) had been investigated for use as binder in conventional tablet formulations. In this study, cross-linked derivatives of the gum were synthesized and investigated for their physicochemical and physicotechnical properti...
4. PHYSICOCHEMICAL AND RHEOLOGICAL MODELING OF SYNERGISTIC INTERACTION OF SOME PLANT GUM EXUDATES.
ABSTRACT
The visco-elastic properties of Khayasenegalensis (KS gum), Anacardium occidentale (AO gum) and Acacia senegal (AS gum) blends in dilute solution were investigated. The gums were evaluated for intrinsic viscosity and the elastic component. Molecular conformation of the complex...
5. SURFACE ACTIVITY AND RELEASE PROPERTIES OF SOME TROPICAL GUMS IN ARTEMETHER AND ARTESUNATE SODIUM TABLET FORMULATIONS
ABSTRACT
Plant gums are natural polymers with low toxicity, high biodegradability and high compatibility with drugs making them useful as pharmaceutical excipients in solid, semi-solid and liquid formulations. This work was aimed at evaluating the surface activity and release properties...
6. ANTIPLASMODIAL ACTIVITY OF AQUEOUS AND ETHANOLIC EXTRACTS OF ANACARDIUM OCCIDENTALE AND CYMBOPOGON CITRATUS
ABSTRACT
The search for antimalarial compounds was necessitated by Plasmodium falciparum resistance to most antimalarial drugs. In endemic countries where malaria is prevalent, medicinal plants are often used to treat malaria. In this study, the in vitro antimalarial activities of crude...
