PG - 120155 LID - S0144-8617(22)01060-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.carbpol.2022.120155 [doi] AB - From a design of experiments (DOE) performed under four independent variables, with the filmogenicity conditions and shortest disintegration time as the answers, a new oral disintegrating film (ODF) based on hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and guar gum (GG) with the essential oil of Plectranthus amboinicus L. (EOPA) was developed. Sixteen formulations were tested for filmogenicity, homogeneity, and viability. The better selected ODF required 230.1 s for complete disintegration. The retention rate of the EOPA was quantified using the nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen technique (H(1) NMR), which identified the presence of 0.14 % carvacrol. The scanning electron microscopy showed a smooth and homogeneous surface with the presence of small white dots. Through the disk diffusion test, the EOPA was able to inhibit the growth of clinical strains of the Candida genus and gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains. This work opens new perspectives for the development of antimicrobial ODFS used in clinical practice. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
