ABSTRACT:
Natural polymers, derived from renewable resources, have gained significant attention as pharmaceutical excipients in solid oral dosage forms due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and sustainability. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the applications, properties, and advances of natural polymers as excipients in solid oral dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, and powders. We discuss the roles of natural polymers such as starch, cellulose, gelatin, chitosan, and pectin in controlling drug release, improving tablet strength and disintegration, enhancing lubrication and coating, and enabling mucoadhesion and taste masking. The review highlights the latest developments in natural polymer chemistry and technology, including modifications and derivatives, nanotechnology, and composite materials. We also examine the regulatory considerations, challenges, and future directions for the use of natural polymeric excipients in solid oral dosage forms. By summarizing the current state of knowledge and highlighting emerging trends, this review aims to inspire innovation and optimization in the design and development of solid oral dosage forms using natural polymeric excipients.
