Formulation And Development Of Antifungal Herbal Ointment With Melia Azardichta And Curcuma Longa Containing Plant Extract

Abstract

Even in places where modern treatment is readily available, the utilization of herbal 
remedies has witnessed a significant surge in fascination over the past few years.  A lot of 
people are interested in phytochemicals and herbal medicines lately because these 
substances are derived from medicinal plants, which are a source of bioactive compounds 
utilized in both conventional and alternative medicine. The purpose of this study is to 
create and test an ointment containing Azadirachta indica and Curcuma long a plant 
extracts. The extract was blended with the base using the levigation procedure to generate 
the ointment after the ointment base was prepared. When it was finished, the formulation's 
physicochemical properties—such as color, fragrance, pH, spread ability, extrudability, 
consistency, solubility, and washability—were evaluated. After it was ready, the 
formulation was assessed for physicochemical characteristics such color, smell, pH, 
spread ability, extrudability, consistency, solubility, and washability. Further stability 
testing of the formulation at various temperatures indicated no alteration in irritancy, 
spread ability, or diffusion. As a result, it might become a medium for efficiently and 
readily utilizing the therapeutic properties of Melia azardichta and Curcuma longa in a 
simple dose form.
