Gum Damar is a whitish to yellowish natural gum of plant Shorea Wiesneri (family Dipterocarpaceae). It contains about 40% alpha-resin (resin that dissolves in alcohol), 22% beta resin, 23% damarol acid and 2.5% water. It has been mainly used as an emulsifier and stabilizer for the production of colour, paints, inks and aromatic emulsions in food and cosmetic industries and also in the manufacture of paper, wood, varnishes, lacquers, polishes and additives for beverages. It has been used for water-resistant coating and in pharmaceutical and dental industries for its strong binding properties. In India, Sal damar has been widely utilized as an indigenous system of medicine. These wide applications of Gum Damar propose their strong hydrophobic nature, substantial binding property and compatibility with the physiologic environment. Since matrix tablet is the easiest approach to design the sustained drug delivery system, we were interested in investigating the matrix-forming ability of Gum Damar in tablets for sustained drug delivery. |
