The present study gives the information about Hibiscus rosa sinensis.
Various plant gums had been used in the development of pharmaceutical
formulation; among them the gum obtained from the hibiscus has its own
identity in pharmaceutical and pharmacological world. Hibiscus rosa sinensis
is also known as Gurhal, Sanskrit japa, Hindi jasum etc. Various chemical
constituents such as taraxeryl acetate, compestrol, cholesterol etc are
present in the gum which is obtained from the different part of the plant,
responsible for the different pharmacological activities. The hibiscus gum
had been used for cosmetic and medicinal uses. The study on the Hibiscus
rosa sinensis emphasized on the pharmacological activities such as it act as
a antipyretic, anticonvulsive, anti-inflammatory etc.

INTRODUCTION
For health purpose more than three
quarter of the whole world’s population
depends on plants. For the medicinal
purpose more than 30% of total plant
species are used. More than 80,000
medicinal plants are used out of 2, 50,000
higher plants. Leaves, stems, bark, roots,
flowers are the different organs of the plant
from which the drug is obtained. Gum,
resins and latex are also some excretory
products of plants from which the drug is
prepared.1 When plants are grown under
the unfavorable condition or injured, then
they produce gum and it is usually a
pathological product. It is generally
translucent and amorphous substance.
These may be ionic and non ionic
polysaccharide and considered as plant
hydrocolloids. The process from which the
gum is produced is known as gummosis.2
Plant gums and mucilage’s are widely used
in pharmaceutical preparations by the
formulation of granules of desired
hardness, strength, and size. As binders,
they show adhesive qualities to powder.3
Hibiscus rosa sinensis mucilage is also
used as disintegrate and super disintegrate
in the pharmaceutical preparations.
Disintegrates are the substances which on
addition to the tablets and some other
encapsulated formulations in the aqueous
environment, shows the disintegration of
the tablet and capsule in small particles or
fragments, due to which the surface area is
increased and results in more rapid release
of drug substance. In terms of fast
dissolving tablets, disintegration has their
own importance and it has received

considerable attention. They work just
opposite to the efficiency of binder. Their
effect is enhanced when added during
granulation. The tablets are breakdown
into small granules and granules further
disintegrate into small pieces in the
solution by adding disintegrate either
intragranulary or extragranulary.4 Fast
dissolving tablets required less amount of
water. It dissolved into the saliva within few
seconds. These tablets are beneficial for
Geriatric and Pediatric patients.5
For too fluffy and non-
compressible pharmaceutical powders,
pharmaceutical glue is used to combine
and attach the particles of powder. This
pharmaceutical glue is known as binder.
The bonds of the binder between particles
remain same even when the solvent is
dried. Now-a-days binders are used in
large quantity.
For the sustained release matrix
tablets, Hibiscus rosa sinensis leaves
mucilage is used due to its good swelling,
good flow rate, and suitability for matrix
formulation.6 This mucilage is used as a
binder in various pharmaceutical tablets. It
has a glossy dark green leaves with
medium texture. In this plant flowers are
produced in a large abundance. For the
natural and pharmaceutical remedies, it is
most suitable plant. It is easily available all
over India. They perform various
pharmacological actions and used in many
pharmaceutical dosage form. 7 This review
article provides the information of utility of
plant Hibiscus rosa sinensis as
pharmaceutical excipient for the
development of various dosage form.
Simultaneously articles are also
concentrating on the pharmacological
application of plant in various disease.
DESCRIPTION
In Hindi Hibiscus rosa sinensis is
known as gurhal. The common name of
Hibiscus rosa sinensis are tropical
hibiscus, Chinese hibiscus. It belongs to
the Malvaceae family. This is a glabrous
shrub and widely cultivated in tropics. In
India it is a perennial ornamental shrub
which is available easily. The height of the
plant is between 7 to 12 feet and spread
from 6 to 10 feet. There are so many
pharmacological and pharmaceutical
importances of Hibiscus rosa sinensis. It
shows various pharmacological activities
such as aphrodisiac, laxative, oral
contraceptive, menorrhagic, antioxidant
etc. This plant also possesses anti-fertility
activity.8 The mucilage isolated from the
leaves of Hibiscus rosa sinensis was
homogeneous on electrophorosis. It
contains acidic polysaccharide and showed
considerable anticomplementary activity.9
CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS
Some chemical constituents found
in Hibiscus rosa sinensis are compestrol,
stigmasterol, cholestrol, taraxeryl acetate,
beta- sitosterol fructose, glucose and
flavinoids. Hibiscetin, cyanin glucosides
and alkanes are also present.10
COSMETIC USES
Hibiscus rosa sinensis is used in
different fields in various preparations.
Hibiscus rosa sinensis petals are used to
promotes hair growth and prevent hair loss
and scalp disorder. It is used as a natural
emollient hair conditioner. For the hair
growth it is generally used with brahmi and
amla extract. It is used for the mild
shampoo for babies. It is also used to
produce black dye by using the ghee for
blacken the eyes and eyebrows. In China,
it is used in shoe-blacking and mascara.
The juice obtained from the petals is used
for this purpose.10
MEDICINAL USES
There are number of medicinal
uses of Hibiscus rosa sinensis. Some are
as follows:
Its roots are used as demulcent for
cough.
The Global Journal of Pharmaceutical Research Vol. 2 (3), pp. 1822-29, Oct, 2013; www.tgjpr.com

Leaves show laxative and emollient
properties.
For treatment of venereal disease and
fevers, decoction of roots is used.
It is used as diuretics and used in kidney
trouble.
Leaves and flowers are used for the
growth of hair.
For abortion purpose, leaves and bark is
used.10
EXTRACTION OF MUCILAGE FROM
HIBISCUS ROSA SINENSIS
Freash leaves of Hibiscus rosa
sinensis was washed and dried. Complete
release of mucilage is obtained in water by
soaking crushed leaves in water 5-6 hrs
and boiling of 30 minutes. The marc from
solution was removed using 8 fold muslin
cloths. Acetone in a three times volume
was added to precipitate the mucilage. The
dried powder was obtained on heating over
50 degree centigrade, and passed through
sieve (number 80).11
PHARMACEUTICAL ACTIVITY OF
HIBISCUS ROSA SINENSIS
1. SUPER DISINTEGRANT
Swathi S et al presented the effect
of Hibiscus rosa sinensis mucilage as
superdisintegrant in the fast dissolving
tablets by using freely and poorly soluble
drug. They have used fast dissolving
tablets of freely soluble tramadol
hydrochloride and levofloxacin as a poorly
soluble drug. In this, they compared two
superdisintegrants, one is natural
superdisintegrant such as mucilage which
is extracted from the Hibiscus rosa
sinensis and other one is synthetic super
disintegrant such as croscarmellose
sodium by taking in different concentration.
From this study we conclude that fast
dissolving tablets formed by using
mucilage have better disintegrating
property in comparison to synthetic
superdisintegrant.12
2. BINDER
Chitta Suresh Kumar et al,
disscused about the effects of the Hibiscus
rosa sinensis mucilage as a binder in the
matrix tablets of diclofenac sodium. In this
study hibiscus leaves mucilage is used. It
was concluded that Hibiscus rosa sinensis
leaves mucilage have significant property
for the sustain release of diclofenac
sodium. 14
Prakash Pawan et al, discuss about
the Hibiscus rosa sinensis as a binder
which is used in sustained release drug
delivery system. In this investigation, the
Hibiscus rosa sinensis mucilage was mixed
with matrix tablets of diclofenac sodium
and study about the release retardant
activity of formulation.15
Gauda Harikrishna kasani et al,
was used Hibiscuss rosa sinensis leaves
mucilage to formulate the propranolol
hydochloride sustained release floating
matrix tablets. In this, Hibiscus rosa
sinensis is used as matrix forming
material.16
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF
HIBISCUS ROSA SINENSIS
Antibacterial activity18
Ruban P,Gajalakshmi K discuss
about the antibacterial activity of Hibiscus
rosa sinensis flower extract. In this study,
the flower extract of Hibiscus rosa sinensis
works against human pathogens. From the
disc and agar diffusion method they
evaluated the antibacterial activity. In the
result, cold extraction illustrates a
maximum zone of inhibition against E.coli,
Bacillus subtilis and hot extraction against
Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp. It was
concluded that extract of Hibiscus rosa
sinensis have significant effect as
antibacterial activity.
Anticonvulsant activity19
V.S.Kasture et al cover the data on
the ethanolic extracts of flower of Hibiscus
rosa sinensis which is used to exhibit
The Global Journal of Pharmaceutical Research Vol. 2 (3), pp. 1822-29, Oct, 2013; www.tgjpr.com
Sargam et al. 1825
anticonvulsant activity. The anticonvulsant
activity lied in the acetone soluble part of
ethanolic extract of Hibiscus rosa sinensis
flower according to bioassay guided
fractionation. This fraction saves the
animals from lithium-pilocarpine, electro
shock and kindling, and pentylene tetrazole
which are responsible for inducing
convulsion in mice. It was proved that the
ethanolic extract of Hibiscus rosa sinensis
showed significant anticonvulsive activity.
Analgesic Activity20
Alka Sawarkar et al studied on
Hibiscus rosa sinensis and identifed its
analgesic activity. . In recent study,
aqueous and alcoholic extracts obtained
from the dried leaves of Hibiscus rosa
sinensis. This extract has analgesic activity
and it is dose dependent. The extractability
percentage was found to be 20% in the
leaves.
Antioxidant activity21
Rajesh mandate, S.A Sreenivas et
al reported that the crude extract of
Hibiscus rosa sinensis showed antioxidant
activity. The name of some antioxidant
radical scavenger compounds which are
used as reference are butylated
hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxyltoluene
and tocoferol. In linoleic acid emulsion,
94.58 % oxidation is prevented by the
crude extract. But standard oxidants such
as BHA, BHT, and tocoferol restricts at
particular concentration of 60 μg/ml.
Natural antioxidants are obtained from the
crude extract of Hibiscus rosa sinensis and
shows the effective result.
Anti-inflammatory activity22
Vivek tomar et al explains the anti
inflamatory activity of Hibiscus rosa
sinensis. So many inflammatory conditions
such as inflammation of blenorrhoea,
asthmatic bronchitis and oral mucosa is
treated by Hibiscus rosa sinensis. For anti
inflammatory activities, the methanolic
extract of Hibiscus rosa sinensis leaves
were used. To check the inflammatory
activities, various animal models were
used in this study. Indomethacin was used
as standard drug against carragenan and
dextran induces inflammation.
Anxiolytic activity23
P Shewale et al studied the effect
of anxiolytic activity by using methanolic
extract of Hibiscus rosa sinensis flower
with anthocyanidins in mice.
In this study, they concluded that by
involving of dopamine, nonadrenalin,
serotonin and gamma amino butyric acid
mechanism, the methanolic extract and
anthocyanidins possess potential anxiolytic
activity.
Antipyretic activity24
Sawarkar. A.R et al studied about
the effect of Hibiscus rosa sinensis as an
anti pyretic in rats. The antipyretic activity
was determined by using the leaves of
Hibiscus rosa sinensis and v wistar rat.
Aqueous and alcoholic extract of Hibiscus
rosa sinensis were used to reduce the
increased temperature and compared with
the control group.
Wound healing activity 25
B.Shivnanda Nayak et al performed
their study on Sprague dawley rat by using
hibiscus rosa sinensis having wound
healing activity. Ethanolic extract of
Hibiscus rosa sinensis was used. Study
indicate that there was 86 % reduction in
wound area in those animals which were
treated with ethanolic extract of Hibiscus
rosa sinensis when compared against
control.
Anabolic effect26
Olagbende-Dada et al discuss
about the anabolic activity of Hibiscus rosa
sinensis leaf extract. Aphrodisiac plants
show anabolic activity due to involvement
in protein synthesis and therefore improve
the sexual ability in males. The properties
of this plant are similar to the androgen
which is a male hormone that’s why it is
The Global Journal of Pharmaceutical Research Vol. 2 (3), pp. 1822-29, Oct, 2013; www.tgjpr.com
Sargam et al. 1826
also known as androgenic plant. The
aphrodisiac activity is reported in the cold
aqueous extract of Hibiscus rosa sinensis.
There is a method to evaluate this over the
eight week of treatment and rat were used
as a experimental model.
Anti- anxiety activity27
Khan Mohammad Junaid et al
discussed about the anxiety induce
exploratory and locomotar activity
performed by Hibiscus rosa sinensis. It is a
medicinal plant which has a refrigerant and
calming effect. According to this study, for
determining the exploratory behaviour,
alcoholic and chloroform extracts of
Hibiscus rosa sinensis were used. From
the result the difference is obtained that the
ethanolic extract showed better
performance in comparison to chloroform
extract. There is no effect of the both
extract on the urination and defecation of
animals. According to the result Hibiscus
rosa sinensis showed anti anxiety activity.
Effect of Hibiscus rosa sinensis on
fertility and contraception28,29
David Hoffman discussed over the
fertility and contraception by using the
Hibiscus rosa sinensis extract. Only flower
showed the anti-fertility activity. The
antifertility action depends on the season.
During winter antifertility action was
maximum and minimum in summer.
Hibiscus rosa sinensis showed impact on
both, female reproduction as well as on
male. Flower extracts improves the
endocrine function as well as the
generation of sperm. By giving the flower
extract to the rat there are some changes
occurs such as reduction of weight of
testis, reproductive organs and pituitary
glands. After stopping the administration of
drug, the accessory sex organs activity
started again and confirmed the activity of
Hibiscus rosa sinensis as a antifertility
herb.
According to kholkute et al,
benzene hot extracts of Hibiscus rosa
sinensis was responsible for the postcoital
antifertility property to prevent the
pregnancy, the extract obtained from the
flowers of hibiscus were 100% effective.
CONCLUSION
According to the data obtained it is
concluded that the ethanolic extract of
Hibiscus rosa sinensis have
pharmaceutical and pharmacological
activities. The obtaining mucilage is a
natural polysaccharide which is widely
used. This extracted mucilage is used as
binder and disintegrant in tablet
formulation. This plant is effective for
herbal alternative to many diseases. Such
as antipyretic, anticonvulsive, etc. In fast
disintegrating tablets like levofloxacin and
tramadol, it is used as superdisintegrant.
This extracted mucilage is widely used for
the cosmetic and medicinal purpose.
