| Abstract:
|
This review mainly emphasizes on properties and recent applications of various natural polymers (Naturapolyceutics) used in the drug delivery development process including alginate, chitosan, starch, cellulose, gums, etc. Naturapolyceutics is the platform that blends natural polymers and pharmaceutics for the design and development of drug delivery systems. Natural polymers due to their biological properties, sustainability, human and eco-friendliness are promising in this field. Polymers as an excipient influence drug release and should be compatible, non-toxic, stable, economic etc. Nowadays, due to many problems associated with drug release and side effects, manufacturers are inclined towards using natural polymers. In the future, these natural materials have many advantages over synthetic ones as they are non-toxic and most important, a constant rate of drug release can be achieved from a natural polymer-based controlled release device.
