Abstract

Excipients from natural, semi synthetic, synthetic origin shares the major volumes in any pharmaceutical formulations. Natural derived additives play a multifunctional role in the pharmaceutical dosage forms. These natural excipients can be modified for it functionality to behave in a multifunctional effects which is beneficial to the therapeutic regimen. Excipients from natural sources categorized according to their functionality as disintegrating agent, binders, film forming agents, release modifiers, thickening agents,  viscosity enhancers, stabilizers, emulsifiers, suspending agents and mucoadhesives. Mucoadhesives properties from natural polymers are widely explored by researchers in various mucoadhesive systems.  In this review a brief concept of mucoadhesive systems of selected class of natural polymers were outlined.

Keywords: Excipients, Mucoadhesive, Buccal Tablets, Buccal Films, Chitosan, Alginate
