T
he mother tincture of Strychnos nuxvomica Linn. Family Logaaniaceae have been used in homeopathic
medicinal system since ancient times for the treatment of male stomach disorders. The present study
is aimed to investigate the effect of alcoholic mother tincture of
Nux-vomica
on peptic ulcer patients with
converting the tincture in microspheres. The seeds of Nux-vomica were purchased from local market and
identified through university taxonomist for authentication purpose. After drying at 40-50 0C converted into
coarse material were subjected to maceration with ethanol 95% for three days at room temperature. After
recovery of ethanol 90% all mother tincture allowed to dry completely in powder form used for preparation
of microspheres with polymer ethyl cellulose: Test drug ratio (1:1. 500 mg) in 10 ml of acetone. In separate
beaker 0.2% solution of sodium lauryl sulphate (600 mg in 300 ml of distill water). The test drug solution
with polymer in surfactant solution was added drop by drop with constant stirring (speed 1000 to 1200
rpm). Then suspension was allowed to cool at room temperature, filtered and obtained microspheres dried
in vacuum desiccator in overnight with stored in 4 0C in dark. Further the evolutions of microspheres were
done by physic chemical methods such as % yield, particle size analysis, bulk density, angle of repose and
particle shape analysis. The results indicated that the ethanolic mother tincture of
Strychnos nuxvomica
Linn.
Family Logaaniaceae produced a significant and sustained quality of microspheres which can be used to
enhance bioavailability and fast release to small and large intestine inner cell lining and will help in treatment
of peptic ulcer, stomach ache and constipation in chronic cases. As homeopathic formulation have only oral
route of administration this microspheres can be formulated in various formulations like capsules, tablets or
injections as per need of patient for fastest effect with suitable human trials.
