Benzocaine has been used to treat the mouth ulcers due to its excellent local anaesthetic effect that relieves the pain associated with mouth ulcer. Hence an attempt was made to develop and characterize the buccal films of Benzocaine to treat mouth ulcers with an aim of prolonging the drug release and improving the patient convenience. The films were fabricated using the mucoadhesivepolymerblendofchitosanandHPMCbysolventcastingmethodandthephysico-mechanical, in vitro drug release and ex vivo buccal mucosal permeation characteristics of the films were studied. All fabricated film formulations prepared were smooth and almost opaque, with good flexibility. The weight and thickness of all the formulations were found to be uniform. Drug content in the films ranged from 97–99%, indicating favorable drug loading and uniformity. The inclusion of HPMC, significantly reduced the bioadhesive strength and in vitro mucoadhesion time of chitosan films, although the degree of swelling increased. In vitro drug release and permeation studies in simulated saliva showed a prolonged release for a period of 6 h for all formulations. The formulation with Chitosan: HPMC ratio 1:1, 10% w/w polysorbate 80 and 10% w/w propylene glycol as plasticizers showed the best results which exhibited the cumulative percentagedrugreleaseof87.9%andthecumulativeamountofdrugpermeationof7.62mg/cm 2 acrossgoat buccal mucosa in 6 h. Drug-excipient interaction studies were carried out using DSC and FT-IR technique; films indicated no chemical interaction between drug and polymers used.","PeriodicalId":16706,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmaceutical Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46654900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study was carried out to evaluate Phytochemical and Comparative in vitro anthelmintic activity of P. guajava leave extracts against Indian adult earthworm Pheretima posthuma . Methods: The traditional medicinal plant is used to control gastrointestinal infections. The phytochemical analysis and anthelmintic effects of extracts (Chloform, aqueous & methanol) and the standard drug (Piperazine citrate) were tested against Indian adult earthworm. The time taken to paralyze and death time of earthworm was considered for anthelmintic effects. Results: The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of flavanoids, glycosides, alkaloids, steroids, and tannins. Methanolic extract of P. guajava leave extract was showed significant anthelmintic activity among all extracts.
