Abstract

Aim: This study was to develop and evaluate a novel herbosome formulation of Plumbago Indica L. Root Extract with phospholipid.


Methods: The impact of many methods and formulation factors was examined in order to synthesize the Herbosome-loaded Plumbago Indica L. roots extract. The technique of thin-film hydration was utilized, with soya-lecithin serving as the phospholipid of choice. The Plumbagin herbosome was confirmed by taking into account a number of factors, including as particle size, zeta-potential, scanning electron microscopy and entrapment efficiency (%) compared with drug.


Results: The optimized technique provided that particle size within the range and good polydispersity index, an average Zeta potential of -45.3 mV, and an entrapment efficacy (%) of 69.42. Shape and morphology analysis using a scanning electron microscope revealed a smooth surface and spherical shape. The formulation adheres to the zero order kinetic models based on the greatest correlation (R2) value, as evidenced by further in-vitro drug release studies of the improved formulation.


Conclusion: Formulation research aims to develop a dosage form that is elegant, reliable, safe, and compatible with other components. The herbosomal complex was observed better solubility, melting point. In-vitro studies for hepatic malignancy were conducted to further confirm the efficacy of the optimized formulation.
