| Summary: | Pre-formulation study is the main phase
of drug development. At the early stage
of pre-formulation study, characterization
has a significant role in determining the
physical and chemical properties of a
drug candidate. The physicochemical
parameters conducted in this study were
determination of pH, particle size
analysis and solubility test in different
type of solvents. Results of the
determination of pH showed (pH of 5.69)
indicating acidic. In particle size analysis,
the numerous distribution of resin was
5.58% (highest peak) where the particle’s
diameter range from 105.24µm to
117.13µm. The resin was slightly soluble
in hot water, but insoluble in other
solvents for the solubility test. This exact
identification could elucidate the physical
and chemical composition present in
Inggu. |
