Abstract

The major component of galangal rhizome (Kaempferia galanga Linn) is ethyl p-methoxycinnamate (EPMS), which amounts to 80.05%. Significant anti-inflammatory activity is exhibited by EPMS from galangal rhizome through the inhibition of carrageenan-induced mouse edema and the inhibition of IL-6 production. EPMC is recognized for various pharmacological effects, particularly its potential as a wound healing agent due to its anti-inflammatory properties. The choice of spray was made because it meets the characteristics of anti-inflammatory preparations in the wound healing process. The preparation must be moist, easily adjusted to the shape of the wound (flexible), sterile, and evenly distributed, covering the tissue, and can be easily removed from the tissue, including the wound. A spray gel dosage form was formulated with varying concentrations of the gelling agent Na CMC, F1 (0.5%), F2 (1.0%), and F3 (1.5%). Physical stability was evaluated at room temperature storage on days 0, 7, 14, and 21. Organoleptics, homogeneity, viscosity, pH, spray pattern, adhesive spread ability, centrifugation test, and cycling test were evaluated. Chemical stability evaluation was carried out using UV-Vis spectrophotometry to assess the EPMS levels in the preparation. The results of the physical evaluation showed that all formulas were stable in terms of organoleptics, homogeneity, and pH, which was in the range of 6.6–7.1; the weight per spray was uniform and relatively stable in centrifugation and cycling tests. The use of a combination of sodium carboxymethylcellulose and copovidone can produce a spray gel preparation of a good aromatic ginger (Kaempferia galanga Linn) crystal with a 1%.

Abstract

Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. is a plant known for its potential in scar treatment due to the presence of asiaticoside, a compound capable of promoting skin cell tissue repair. However, the large molecular size of asiaticoside hinders its penetration through the skin. This study aims to evaluate the effect of gelatin and propylene glycol on the transdermal penetration of asiaticoside from a gel formulation containing Centella asiatica leaf extract. Four different formulations were tested: a control (F1, without gelatin or propylene glycol); one with 15% propylene glycol (F2); one with 4% gelatin (F3); and one with 4% gelatin and 15% propylene glycol (F4). The physical characteristics of the formulations were assessed using several parameters: organoleptic properties, pH, homogeneity, centrifugation, spreadability, viscosity, and rheological behaviour. Penetration studies were performed using a Franz Diffusion Cell with a Whatman No. 1 membrane (pre-coated with Spangler solution) for 360 minutes. The penetration data were analyzed using Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) with a C18 BEH column (2.1 × 50 mm; 1.8 μm particle size). The results showed that each formulation exhibited distinct characteristics. The study findings indicated that both gelatin and propylene glycol, as well as their combination, significantly influenced the penetration of asiaticoside in the gel formulation. Propylene glycol, functioning as a penetration enhancer, was found to increase the penetration of asiaticoside in both gelatin-based and liquid formulations.
