Abstract

Controlled release drug delivery systems are preferred over from conventional oral drug delivery in the last few decades becauseof their clinical benefits over the later one. Hydrophilic matrix drug delivery systems prepared using natural polysaccharides are better alternative for developing sustained release formulation. One of such polysaccharides is Tamarind seed polysaccharide (TSP) isolated from seed kernel of Tamarindus indica. Although TSP is used as an ingredient in food materials, it has not been extensively evaluated till date for its utility in pharmaceuticals formulations. So, this review mainly focuses on the utility of TSP as an excipient in novel drug delivery systems.
