In 2020,World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research included an article by Naykodi, Pradnya S.; Bidkar, Shital J.; More, Komal V.; Dighe, Ajinkya D.. Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks. The article was titled 《Taste masking of bitter drugs by using ion exchange resin method》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
The various organoleptic properties such as taste, smell, texture also these are important factor in development of oral dosage forms. The taste is the major factor that affect the patient compliance and product quality. Acceptability of any dosage form mainly depends over its taste i.e. mouth feel. Drug mol. interact with taste receptor on the tongue to give bitter, sweet or other taste sensation, when they dissolve in saliva. The taste buds shows the sensation of taste by signal transduction from the receptor organs. Now a days most of the potent drugs that are cardiac, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-tubercular, antibacterial, anthalmetics, antimalarial, antiepileptics, anticoagulants, histamine receptor agonist, antithyroids, antineoplastic, antiprotozoal, diuretics, nutritional agents, opioid analgesic, sex hormones, vaccines most of them are bitter in taste. So it become a necessary to develop such a dosage form that is acceptable for its taste by patients especially children or geriatrics. It becomes a challenge for pharmacist to make palatable formulation by masking the bitter taste of the drug. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as trans-4-((2-Amino-3,5-dibromobenzyl)amino)cyclohexanol hydrochloride(cas: 23828-92-4Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks)
trans-4-((2-Amino-3,5-dibromobenzyl)amino)cyclohexanol hydrochloride(cas: 23828-92-4) is a medication indicated to alleviate chest congestion associated with conditions that include bronchitis, pneumonia, bronchospasm asthma, cough, and allergy.Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks Preclinically, ambroxol, the active ingredient of Mucosolvan, has been shown to increase respiratory tract secretion.
