The Disintegrant Property of a Hydrophilic Cellulose Polymer Derived from the Tubers of Ipomoea batatas in Paracetamol Tablet Formulation

Ugoeze Kenneth C. & Nwachukwu Nkemakolam · Journal of Advances in Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences · 2017

Aims: A new hydrophilic cellulose polymer (I-hydrocel) derived from the tubers of Ipomoea batatas was assessed as a tablet disintegrant in paracetamol tablet formulation in comparison with maize starch. Methods: I-hydrocel was incorporated intragranularly at 5, 10 and 15% w/w to...

Evaluation of the Suspending Properties of a Novel Hydrophilic Biopolymer Derived from the Tubers of Ipomoea batatas on Sulphamethoxazole Suspension

Ugoeze Kenneth C. & Nwachukwu Nkemakolam · Journal of Advances in Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences · 2017

Aims: This work examines a novel hydrophilic biopolymer, I-polygel derived from Ipomoea batatas tubers (Convolvulaceae) as a suspending agent in sulphamethoxazole suspension using acacia and tragacanth respectively as comparing standards. Methods: Aqueous suspensions of sulphamet...
