Abstract
NATURAL DISINTEGRANTS: ROLE IN PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATION
Abhishek Pandey* and Satyawan Dangi
ABSTRACT
Disintegrants are agents which are integrated to tablets and some encapsulated formulations in order to promotethe breakup of the tablet and capsule “slugs” into more small fragments in an aqueous environment whichthereafter increment the available surface area and promoting a more rapid release of the drug substance. Thedevelopment of new excipients for potential use as disintegrant agent in tablet formulations continues to be ofinterest. This is because different disintegrant agents can be useful in promoting penetration of moisture anddispersion of the tablet matrix and disintegration of tablet has received considerable attention at present as anessential step in obtaining fast drug release. Natural polymers such as starches, gums, mucilage, and dried fruitsutilized as binder, diluent, and disintegrants to increase the solubility of poorly water-soluble drug, decrease thedisintegration time, and provide nutritional supplement. Natural disintegrants are safe and economical thansynthetic disintegrants such as Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Therefore, in the present review, an attempt has beenmade to reveal the importance of the natural disintegrants in the pharmaceutical formulations.
