Abstract:
As it is known that curcumin has several medicinal characteristics, such as an antioxidant,
anti-cancer, anti- inflammatory, and also has many benefits in cosmetics
field.
Several studies have been proposed to study the curcumin extraction from turmeric in
a simple and easy way and to use it in several areas. However, applying curcumin in
coating Metronidazole tablets curcumin pills has not been shown in the previous
studies.
At the present work, curcumin was extracted in higher yield and the obtained extract
was characterized using infrared red (IR), thin layer chromatography (TLC). The
obtained curcumin has a melting point(M.P) of 183°C,182°C and 184°C. The ash
content found to be 1.5%, 3.09%, and 3.17% . Curcumin material was used in the
pharmaceutical field as a colorful agent used in coating Metronidazole tablet curcmin
pills.
The experimental results showed that the coated Metronidazole tablets curcumin pills
have no side effects. In addition it also showed stability of color and even at high
temperature .and the coated tablets showed that the taste of bitterness ratio in
