Superdisintegrant.

The present research is focused on development of mouth dissolving tablet of Lornoxicam using novel superdisintegrants from natural resources. The research is carried out to potentiate the use of natural excipients instead of synthetic ones. Lornoxicam B cyclodextrin complex is formed as it increases the solubility of drug and to mask the taste of drug while having many advantages such as improve dissolution, and bioavailability. Tablets were prepared using natural superdisintegrants like gum karaya, Plantago ovata husk. and synthetic superdisintegrants like Crospovidone, Kyron T-314, Croscarmellose Sodium. Tablet containing 6 % of gum karaya shows better results over the formulation containing synthetic or other natural superdisintegrants like Plantago ovata husk. The formulated tablet melts in mouth within fraction of seconds with promising release of drug. The present study demonstrated potentials for rapid absorption, improved bioavailability, effective therapy, acceptable taste and patient compliance. The accelerated stability study of batch (F2) revealed that no significant change in physical properties and could be considered as stable formulation even after 3 months.
