Abstract

Objective: The present work is aim to design, development and fabrication of mouth dissolving tablets containing extract of Tribulus terrestris for the treatment of hypertension.

Methods: The extract of fruits of Tribulus terrestris was formulated as mouth dissolving tablets (MDTs) by full factorial design at 3² levels and prepared by direct compression method using super integrants like sodium starch glycolate and cross povidone. Furthermore, the tablet was evaluated for thickness, hardness, weight variation, wetting time, disintegration time, and in vitro drug release study.

Results: The tablets were analyzed for a variety of characteristics, such as hardness (2.4-2.9 kg/cm2), friability (0.33-1.7%), disintegration time (20-34 s), drug content (95.32-99.09%), water uptake ratio (26-48%), wetting time (29-69 s), and in vitro drug release illustrated in 5 min (99.04-68.21%). There was no interaction between both the drug and the polymer, according to FTIR and DSC studies.

Conclusion: The research revealed that Tribulus terrestris fruits extract can be designed, developed and fabricated into mouth dissolving tablet for the treatment of hypertension with improved bioavailability and expected patient compliance.
