Abstract

Excipients are now added in innovative dosage forms to fulfill specific roles as a result of developments in drug delivery technology, and in some conditions they directly or indirectly modify the extent and/or rate of drug release and absorption. Nowadays, center of attraction goes towards the usage of naturally occuring plants and natural additives in places of synthetic ones. Natural medications and excipients are becoming increasingly popular across the world. Chemically inert, nontoxic, less cost, biodegradable, and readily available, natural materials offer several benefits over manufactured materials. They may also be changed in a variety of ways to create custom materials for drug delivery systems, making them a viable alternative to synthetic excipients. The growing trend toward the usage of plant-based and natural goods necessitates the substitution of natural additives for synthetic ones. The majority of plant-derived polymeric compounds (gums and mucilages) are discussed in this study, as well as their origins, chemical components, and functions, as well as some new research as excipients in innovative drug delivery systems.
