A Study of Compressibility, Compactability and Mucoadhesivity of Tableting Materials for Matrix Systems Based on Chitosan

The objective of the present research is to evaluate directly compressible chitosan-based tableting materials for the formulation of mucoadhesive matrix tablets intended for targeted drug release to distal segments of the GIT. The influence of sodium alginate, hypromellose, and silicified microcryst...
