Abstract:
The present research reflected towards exploring the plausible role(s) of extracts of Dolichos biflorus (seed), Cichorium intybus (root), Pterocarpus marsupium (bark), and Crataeva nurvala (bark) formulated as ointment product. The formulations were characterized by determining the pharmaceutical characteristics like pH, skin irritancy test, viscosity, appearance, extrudability, spreadability, washability, and swelling index. No specific edema or erythema symptoms were seen following treatment for a continuous seven days according to the skin irritation test investigation. The formulations’ pH levels were determined to be 5.2 (F1) and 5.7 (F2). F1 displayed swelling of 1.29%, whereas F2 displayed swelling of 1.14%. The spreadability of the two ointment formulations (F1 and F2) was 6.9 g.cm/sec and 5.2 g.cm/sec. For F1 and F2, the extrudability of the formulations from the collapsible tubes was determined to be +++ and ++, respectively. The viscosity was determined to be 4550 cps (F1) and 5300 cps (F2) when examining the rheological features of the formulations. The formulations’ washability was determined to be +++ for Formulation-1 and ++ for Formulation-2. The uses of polyherbal formulations in conventional medicine were revealed by this discovery, which also revitalized the concepts of ethnopharmacology in relation to contemporary medicine.
