The nasunin pigment was extracted from the exocarp by maceration and filtration,
dried, treated with methanol and distilled water, distilled again by using Sep-Pak C18 that
trifluoracetic acid (TFA). The outcome of the extraction was tested using High
was filtered by using a Sep-Pak C18 cartridge, obtaining a first elution in methanol
purple). Both eluates were dried and weighed. Were obtained, respectively, 0.6523 grams
for the dry residue A and 0.2110 grams for the dry residue B. The two samples were
resuspended and analyzed by HPLC (Zhang et al., 2004; Sadilova et al., 2006, as cited in
The study is conducted at the University of Santo Tomas at Espana Blvd, Sampaloc,
Manila, Metro Manila during the 2nd semester of School year 2016-2017 up to the 1st
The research is focused on the preformulation of Nasunin into an oral dosage form,
tablet, and to determine the possible reactions of Nasunin with the excipients that are
used to develop the dosage form. Toxicity studies are also included in the research to
recognize any toxic effects produced by the drug product. The drug product was tested
