HUMIC ACID AS NOVEL EXCIPIENT IN BOON OF DRUG DELIVERY Authors: Anil Kumar V* And Santoshkumar Rada
ABSTRACT
This review examined naturally occurring humic compounds, such as fulvic acid, humus, and
humic acid, which vary in composition depending on where they are found and the extraction
method employed. They have various groups in their molecular structures, such as phenols and
carboxylic acids. In this setting, humic substances—such as inclusion complexes like
cyclodextrin with hydrophobic drugs—have emerged as essential excipients for the future. It
is subsequently utilized in medication delivery systems, medicines, and nutraceuticals. Despite
the fact that humic acid has several therapeutic uses, not much is known about its worldwide
market, solubility, pH, etc. The potential of pharmaceutical excipients, which are based on the
idea that they can improve the solubility and bioavailability of biopharmaceutical medications,
is also examined in this review.
