Improvement of Lidocaine Local Anesthetic Action Using <i>Lallemantia royleana</i> Seed Mucilage as an Excipient

Abstract

Lallemantia royleana (Balangu) is a well known Iranian medicinal plant that its seed mucilage has many applications in modern pharmacology. Plant mucilage traditionally was used as a gel supplement, and natural matrix for sustained release of drugs. But it seems that these compounds are not a simple additive and also have many undiscovered pharmacological properties.
