Abstract :
Ciplukan herb (Physalis angulata L,) is an herbal plant that contains
flavonoids that act as immunomodulators. Tablet preparations have the advantage that
they are easy to consume and the right dosage, so that in this study the ciplukan herb
is made into tablets. The purpose of this study was to determine the concentration of
PVP-K30 which produced the best physical tablet dosage. The ciplukan herb extract
is obtained through extraction with the maceration method using 70% ethanol solvent
and the manufacture of tablets using the wet granulation method because the active
ingredients of ciplukan herbs are flavonoids which cannot withstand heating at
temperatures above 60 ° C, and have poor flow properties. The ciplukan (Physalis
angulata L.) herb extract tablet preparations were made with variations in the
concentration of the PVP K-30 binder 3%, 4%, and 5%. The physical stability test
was carried out on days 0,7,14, and 21. The concentration of PVP-K30 binder had an
effect on the physical properties of the granules and the physical properties of the
tablet preparations. The higher the concentration of the binder, the higher the
hardness, the lower the friability and the disintegration time. the longer. Based on the
results obtained, ciplukan herbal extract tablets with 3% binder produces tablets with
the best physical properties with an average uniformity test result of 0.512 ± 0.00264
grams, an average size uniformity test result of 0.416 ± 0.00519 cm, The mean
brittleness test results were 0.606 ± 0.0364%, the mean hardness test results were
5.59 ± 0.01096 kg and the mean disintegration time test results were 11: 50 ± 0.01096
minutes.
