Abstract:

Starch isolated from Caralluma attenuata plant was studied as an alternative pharmaceutical excipient to maize and potato starch. The C. attenuata starch has been evaluated by series of tests as mentioned in Indian Pharmacopoeia before being used for evaluation. It was tested along with maize and potato starch as an alternative excipient by performing battery of preformulation and formulation tests. The results obtained for C. attenuata starch were comparable with maize and potato starch and the C. attenuata starch can be used as a pharmaceutical excipient in tablets preparation.

Key words: Caralluma attenuata, starch, binder, excipient, maize starch, potato starch.
