Study Notes
Herbal Drug Delivery Systems
-
Herbal Medicine Outline: Includes medicinal plants, herbs, herbal materials, herbal preparations, and finished herbal products. Specific examples include: Akapulko, Ampalaya, Bawang, Bayabas, Lagundi, Niyog-niyogan, Sambong, Tsaang Gubat, and Pansit-Pansitan.
-
Herbs and Herbal Materials: Crude materials used to derive herbs include lichen, algae, fungi, leaves, flowers, fruit, fruiting bodies, seeds, stems, wood, bark, roots, rhizomes, and other parts of plants. These can be entire, fragmented, or powdered. Finished herbal products may involve fresh juices, gums, fixed oils, essential oils, resins, and dry powders of herbs. Herbal preparations are also included.
-
Collection and Processing of Plant Materials: Follow guidelines like the WHO's Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP). Medicinal plants should be collected and processed appropriately, ensuring a consistent harvest season and source. The collection must include necessary checks like the specific part/variety of plant or if it’s collected from one source.
-
Formulation Development: Crucial for safe and effective drug delivery systems. Formulation focuses on factors like solubility, stability, and palatability. Important for identifying the optimum formulation stage, manufacture method, and selecting appropriate excipients and formula.
-
Preformulation Studies: Evaluate the physical and chemical properties of the drug substance alone, or in combination with excipients for various dosage forms. Essential in developing stable and bioavailable dosage forms. Examples include Sambong and the effect on patients being unable to sleep.
-
Quality Control Tests: Assess the finished product's safety. Tests include physical characteristics, chemical analysis, and microbiological evaluation. Details may involve physical and chemical properties like Appearance, Color, Odor, Macroscopic, Microscopic, Particle Size, Moisture content, Ash content, Extractives, Heavy Metals, and Microbiological tests. Examples include those for appearance, color, odor, etc.
-
Pharmacological Investigation: Research the active components and therapeutic effects. This investigates the physical and chemical properties of the herbal drugs. Tests include Bioassay, LD50 (Lethal Dose 50), mutagenicity, clastogenicity, and antimutagenicity testing.
-
Formulation Bottlenecks: Address issues with inconsistent finished product, overlap of chemical/chromatographic profiles, and instability for better formulation and product development.
-
Packaging and Labeling: Essential for safe and effective delivery. Plant material needs appropriate and quick packaging to prevent degradation and pest attacks.
-
Quality Assurance in Medicinal Plant Research: Quality is a crucial aspect. It checks for safety, efficacy, and the quality of plant materials used. This relates to using the right varieties, healthy plants, quality testing, and the right procedures for extraction, preservation to keep quality.
