In vitro evaluation of guar gum as a carrier for colon-specific drug delivery

TL;DR: The results illustrate the usefulness of guar gum as a potential carrier for colon-specific drug delivery and reveal that the use of 4% w/v of rat caecal contents in PBS, obtained after 7 days of enzyme induction provide the best conditions for in vitro evaluation of Guar gum.

Amylose as a coating for drug delivery to the colon: Preparation and in vitro evaluation using 5-aminosalicylic acid pellets

TL;DR: Colon-specific drug delivery may be possible by the application of dried amylose films to pharmaceutical formulations byorporation of insoluble polymers into the amylOSE film, to controlAmylose swelling, of which a commercially available ethylcellulose (Ethocel®) was found to control the swelling most effectively.

Relationship between swelling, erosion and drug release in hydrophillic natural gum mini-matrix formulations.

TL;DR: Fickian drug diffusion and polymer erosion were both occurring simultaneously in mini-matrices produced with drug:gum ratios of 1:1 as well as formulations of drug and X in combinations of 2:1, 2:3 and 1:2.
