Development of medicinal and cosmetic cream based on flavonoids.

The article discusses the results of the development of a cream based on Populus balsamifera L. bud flavonoids, which have anti-inflammatory, skin-regenerating effects. A cream's anti-inflammatory and wound-healing activity based on a flavonoid substance has been studied. In an experiment on a model of an incised skin wound, it was determined that a cream based on the sum of flavonoids from balsam poplar buds, containing pinostrobin, pinocembrin, tectochrysin, exhibits anti-inflammatory and wound-healing activities. Considering that the effectiveness of local wound treatment mainly depends on the rational treatment of the first phase of the wound process, we have developed a 1 % flavonoid cream and its production technology. The technology for the production of flavonoid cream includes extraction and isolation of the sum of flavonoids from the raw material of Populus balsamifera L. buds, preparation of flavonoid substance and excipients, preparation of the cream base and cream, packaging and labelling of cream. Based on the results of our experiments, a pilot industrial regulation for the production of a new cream based on the sum of flavonoids of Populus balsamifera L. buds has been developed, and pilot production of an original medicinal and cosmetic cream was organised.
