Abstract

Diclofenac sodium, a widely used NSAID, has limited skin permeability, which reduces its topical efficacy; therefore, a gel-cream formulation combining the rapid absorption of gels with the emollient properties of creams is proposed to enhance drug penetration and patient comfort. To further improve delivery, HAMIN™, a novel natural palm oil–based base with excellent biocompatibility and lipid-enhancing properties, will be combined with HPMC K100M. This thickener stabilises viscosity and prolongs skin contact time, supporting better absorption. This study aimed to develop and optimise a topical gel cream for diclofenac sodium using HAMIN™ and HPMC K100M to achieve ideal physical properties and improved skin penetration. The formulation was statistically optimised using a Simplex Lattice Design (SLD), with HAMIN™ (X₁) and HPMC K100M (X₂) as independent variables, and pH (Y₁), spreadability (Y₂), viscosity (Y₃), extrudability (Y₄), release flux (Y₅), and permeation flux (Y₆) as dependent responses. Optimisation with Design Expert version 13 yielded the ideal composition of 16.84% HAMIN™ and 1.16% HPMC K100M, resulting in predicted values of pH 5.07, spreadability 7 cm, viscosity 4502.25 mPas, extrudability 78.98 N/s, release flux 70.61 µg/cm²√min, and permeation flux 0.4868 µg/cm²/min, with a desirability score of 0.829. Despite a slightly lower release flux, the optimised HAMIN™ and HPMC K100M-based gel cream demonstrated superior skin permeation compared to a commercial emulgel for up to 300 minutes. The incorporation of HAMIN™, a natural palm oil base, offers a novel and effective strategy to enhance the topical delivery of diclofenac sodium via a statistically optimised gel cream formulation.

Abstract

Siput onchidiid (Onchidium typhae) mempunyai aktivitas antioksidan, antijamur, dan antibakteri, serta kandungan alkaloid, steroid, saponin, asam amino bebas, dan protein yang tinggi. Efek farmakologis dan gizi tersebut menjadikan siput onchidiid memiliki potensi untuk dijadikan minuman fungsional dalam bentuk serbuk instan. Namun, toksisitas akut serbuk instan siput onchidiid harus dipastikan terlebih dahulu sebelum dapat digunakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi toksisitas akut dari serbuk instan siput onchidiid secara oral pada hewan uji dengan menggunakan Pedoman OECD No. 425, Acute Oral Toxicity (AOT): Up-and-Down Procedure (UDP). Lima belas ekor tikus (Rattus norvegicus) betina dibagi menjadi tiga kelompok, yaitu kelompok Limit 2.000, kelompok Limit 5.000, dan kelompok kontrol normal. Parameter yang diukur adalah LD50, berat badan, dan indeks organ sebagai data kuantitatif serta perilaku dan aktivitas motorik sebagai data kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan LD50 serbuk intan siput onchidiid lebih besar dari 5.000 mg/kgBB. Disamping itu, efek toksik tidak teramati pada berat badan, indeks organ, atau perilaku dan aktivitas motorik pada hewan uji. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa serbuk instan siput onchidiid memiliki LD50 dalam kategori sediaan tidak toksik dan tidak menimbulkan efek toksik pada hewan uji.
