Abstract

In the current investigation, a nanoemulgel formulation of Ginger extract was developed and assessed utilizing the simple latex design (SLD) technique. The results of the quantitative phytochemical screening revealed that the extract has optimal amounts of several phytoconstituents, which may contribute to its potential pharmacological effects. The compound GME, when present at doses of 200 and 400 mg/mL, exhibited significant stabilizing effects on HRBC membranes. Specifically, the protection percentages observed were 22.34% and 29.78%, respectively. The comprehensive pre-formulation investigations, including Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) examinations, yielded essential findings about the physical and molecular properties of ginger extract. The investigation of the compatibility between excipients and the subsequent development of nanoemulsion and nanoemulgel have provided evidence of the potential to establish a reliable delivery method for ginger extract. The improved formulation, denoted as F5, demonstrated advantageous attributes including a mean particle size of 228.6 nm, a high zeta potential, and sustained release capabilities. The thorough assessment, including pH, viscosity, drug content, and stability evaluations, combined creates a strong basis for the development of a stable and efficacious ginger extract delivery system, which has promise for possible applications in therapeutic formulations. The optimized formulation will undergo in vivo anti-inflammatory studies.
