Abstract
Significant progress has been made in the field of gastroretentive drug delivery systems
using natural polysaccharides. These improvements aim to improve the effectiveness and absorption
of different medicinal agents. Pectin has received substantial attention in recent years due to its distinctive structural characteristics, abundant availability, biocompatibility, lack of toxicity, and wide
range of applications. The global utilization of pectin in drug delivery systems has expanded significantly. Pectin is used to achieve flotation and mucoadhesive properties, which enhance gastric residence length and improve therapeutic effectiveness. The article aims to comprehensively examine
the information on several pectin-based formulations for medication delivery that are designed to
remain in the stomach for an extended period of time. Furthermore, this article emphasizes the diverse
physicochemical and biological properties of pectin and modified pectin, as well as their prospective
uses in numerous fields. This publication also presents the significant advantages, challenges, potential future developments, and patents on pectin-based gastroretentive drug delivery systems.
