Topical application of drugs to the eye is the most popular and
well-accepted route of administration in various eye disorders. The
bioavailability of ophthalmic drugs is, however, very poor due to
efficient protective mechanisms of the eye like blinking, baseline
and reflex lachrymation, and drainage remove rapidly foreign
substances, including drugs, from the surface of the eye.Ophthalmic
drug delivery is one of the most interesting and challenging
endeavors facing by the pharmaceutical scientist. The anatomy,
physiology, and biochemistry of the eye render this organ highly
impervious to foreign substances. A significant challenge to the
formulator is to circumvent the protective barriers of the eye
without causing permanent tissue damage.Natural gums are often
preferred to synthetic materials due to their non- toxicity,
low-cost, and easy availability.The Pinari tree, Sterculia foetida
has been well documented for the utility of its various parts.
Sterculia foetida gum (SFG) gum is obtained from gummy exudates of
stem bark of Sterculia foetida family: Sterculiaceae) and has not
been exploited as ophthalmic use.
