  • Abstract:
  • The present study deals with an approach in formulation and evaluation of buccal patch with the incorporation of herbal extracts. The present study deal with buccal patches, were prepared with herbal (neem and kanuga) extracts and polymers such as hydroxyl polymer methyl cellulose (HPMC) in respect to solvent such as ethanol and propylene glycol as plactizier. Buccal patches were formulated using solvent casting method with herbal extracts and prepared patches were characterized in terms of film thickness, folding endurance, surface pH, swelling index, moisture content and In-vitro diffusion studies. In-vitro anti-inflammatory studies were performed by using “human red blood cell membrane stabilization” method and In-vitro anti-bacterial studies were also performed by using “cup and plate method” with the use of herbal extracts. The combination of azadirachta indica and pongamia pinnate possess the highest anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial activity when compared with individual extracts.
