Exploration of arabinogalactan of gum polysaccharide potential in hydrogel formation and controlled drug delivery applications

Chronic diarrhea is the most common problem in most of the countries with low socio-economic conditions. Hence, efficient therapeutic formulations are required. The present article explores the potential of the gum polysaccharide that itself has an anti-diarrheal activity, to develop the antibiotic drug ‘meropenem’ carrier, to improve the pharmacotherapy of the diarrhea. The gum based pure and sterile polymeric drug delivery device was prepared...
