FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF FDTS USING AEGLE MARMELOS AS A NATURAL SUPER-DISINTEGRANTS
The current study uses Aegle marmelos as a natural superdisintegrant in the formulation and assessment of fast-dissolving tablets (FDTs). FDTs improve patient compliance, beginning of action, and therapeutic efficacy since they dissolve quickly in the oral cavity without the need for water. Despite their widespread use, synthetic superdisintegrants like crospovidone and sodium starch glycolate have various drawbacks, such as increased expense, possible irritation, and environmental issues. As a result, interest in natural substitutes is growing.
The medicinal plant Aegle marmelos (Bael; Rutaceae) has good swelling and binding qualities and is rich in mucilage. In this work, the disintegration efficiency of tablet formulations containing mucilage derived from Aegle marmelos is assessed. Evaluation factors such disintegration time, hardness, friability, and weight fluctuation are measured for the manufactured tablets.
The goal of the project is to prove that Aegle marmelos is an efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly superdisintegrant that can quickly disintegrate tablets with adequate mechanical strength and aid in the creation of sustainable pharmaceutical excipients.
