General description

Artificial saliva helps in gaining a stable environment and standardized procedures for in vitro and in vivo studies in pharmacological and bioengineering fields. This saliva mimics the properties of natural saliva in terms of chemical composition and physical characteristics.[1] Artificial Saliva is formulated according to literature for pharmaceutical research such as studies of drug dissolution and drug delivery through the oral mucosa.

Application

Artificial Saliva for pharmaceutical research has been used:

  • to study the antifungal activity of Candida albicans on the surface of printed denture resin discs[2]
  • as a diluting agent for inactivation of Escherichia coli in droplets are with different ambient humidities[3]
  • to determine the stability of graphene oxide-amoxicillin (GO-AMOX) capsules[4]

Components

Sodium Chloride
Potassium Phosphate Monobasic
Potassium Chloride
Potassium Thiocyanate Urea
