Abstract

This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a herbal gel containing Rhynchosia rothii leaves extract, known for its antibacterial and wound healing properties. Rhynchosia rothii is a plant belonging to the Fabaceae family, traditionally used for its medicinal benefits. The objective was to develop a topical gel that can deliver the extract effectively for wound healing and antibacterial applications. Various concentrations of Carbopol and other excipients were used to formulate the gel. The prepared gels were evaluated for their physical properties, including homogeneity, pH, viscosity, and spreadability. Additionally, the antibacterial activity was assessed against common pathogens, and the wound healing efficacy was tested using an animal model. The results indicated that the herbal gel formulation exhibited significant antibacterial activity and enhanced wound healing, suggesting its potential as a natural alternative for topical wound care.
