Formulation and Evaluation of Anti-Diabetic Tablet from Insulin Plant (Costus Igneus)

Abstract

In this research article we prepare tablet formulation of Costus igneus plant i.e., Insulin plant by its ethanolic leaves extract and mixing with suitable excipients. Extract was prepared by collecting Costus igneus plant leaves and go for shade drying for 4-7 days, after drying its crushed by mill to form powder and taken for extraction. After extraction we prepare powder for taking different chemical qualitative test and laboratory flow properties such as; (Angle of repose, Loose bulk density, Tapped bulk density , Compressibility index) and after checking flow properties and then punch tablet by direct compression method we take two forms of tablet formula changes in main API one is extract and other is only powder and go for evaluation study such as; ( Color ,Weight variation Test ,Hardness, Friability, Disintegration Time, Thickness)
