Herbal molecules are having more potent action and less side effect but because of low bioavailability, high molecular weight, and low lipophilicity they are not considered ideal dosage forms. To overcome this drawback, emulgel formulation has been considered by the formulator. Hence the present investigation focused on formulation of emulgel of sesame oil with fenugreek mucilage as natural gelling agent. These formulation were evaluated for Physical appearance, Measurement of pH, Spreadability, Extrudability study, Rheological study, Determination of In-vitro antioxidant activity, SPF value determination, drug content etc. All the emulgel formulations were white to buff white viscous creamy preparation with a smooth homogeneous consistency and glossy appearance and found to be having good protection against UV-B radiation and SPF value was determined for the formulation F 2 as it has shown good drug content in the range of 95 to 98%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
