Plenty of researchers have reported that natural surfactants could prominently replace synthetic surfactants considering the superiority in safety and effectiveness. This research aimed to isolate surfactants from custard apple peel and formulate an herbal shampoo. Initially, isolation of the saponin was accomplished followed by the formulation of herbal shampoo. Interestingly, optimized batch A demonstrated the optimum synthetic pH and high foaming capacity of shampoo for upto 4 mins. Moreover, herbal shampoo showed good cleansing properties and detergency. Additionally, it exhibited superior smoothing, no skin irritation, and a shining effect with the respect to the marketed formulation. Hence, it can be prominently used as a substitute for chemical surfactants in designing shampoo and other cosmetics.","PeriodicalId":13409,"journal":{"name":"INDIAN DRUGS","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41768916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The three optimal formulations were selected based on the physicochemical characterization of nine batches and were evaluated successfully. The batch F5 of CFHOLH-TRISG explored the remarkable outcomes within acceptable limits in aspects of physicochemical characterization and other parameters. The TRISG has proven to release over 120 min, which was more significant than conventional drops (60 min), suggesting sustained release and better corneal penetration.

The resulting extracts were analyzed by HPTLC. Determination of Total Phenolic Contents (TPC) and Total Flavonoid Contents (TFC) was carried out by UV-Vis spectrophotometry method for standardization of the oleo-extracts of the herb. The HPTLC fingerprint showed presence of licorice components and phenolics and flavonoids in various oleo-extracts of the herb.

P. cirrhifolium rhizomes were crushed, dissolved in various solvents (in order of polarity), and then tested for phytochemicals. Based on their findings, mass extraction utilizing the ethanol-water mixture (50: 50) was carried out using the Soxhlet method. The doses for animal research were established through acute toxicity tests. The hepatoprotective potential of aqueous ethanolic extract (50:50) of rhizomes was determined in Wistar rats at doses of 200 mg kg-1 and 400 mg kg-1 p.o. per day. Blood samples were examined for the biochemical markers SGOT, SGPT, ALP, total bilirubin, and albumin. Histopathology of the liver was also conducted followed by in vitro anti-oxidant studies. Simultaneously, the extract was subjected to LCMS characterization. P. cirrhifolium extract at both the doses 200 mg kg-1 and 400 mg kg-1 has shown significant hepatoprotective activity against hepatotoxicity induced by INH+ RIF in a dose-dependent manner, as depicted by the significant changes in the values of blood biomarkers and in vitro anti-oxidant studies. Histopathological studies showed that the treatment with 200 mg kg-1 and 400 mg kg-1 of P. cirrhifolium exhibited regeneration of liver architecture and portal system by reducing the haemorrhage and inflammatory infiltrate. LC-MS characterization showed serpentine, 5-hydroxy methylfurfural and cephalotaxine as active constituents. It can be inferred that hydroethanolic extract of P. cirrhifolium protects the liver from anti-TB induced toxicity and this protection could be due to the active phytoconstituents.","PeriodicalId":13409,"journal":{"name":"INDIAN DRUGS","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43783066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An excellent correlation was observed between apparent permeability and flux with drug absorbed per zebrafish larva (µg) (R2 = 0.938) for netilmicin sulphate and for deferoxamine mesylate (R2 = 0.9397).
