FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF ANTIOXIDANT AND ANTIMELANOGENIC ACTIVITY OF NANOEMULSION CONTAINING L-GLUTATHIONE Authors: Patil PA , KANDLE HS, PRAKASH JD AND PHATAK RS
ABSTRACT
This research aims to formulate and quantify nanoemulsion which contains L-glutathione reduced
with antioxidant and antimelanogenic activity. The drug was obtained from RP chemical Pvt. Ltd.
Mumbai India identified with certificate of analysis. Total 9 batches preformulation were prepared by
taking the proportion of the excipients and variables as factors. The nanoemulsions were prepared
using the Phase Inversion Emulsion (EPI) technique. Nanoemulsion formulations were prepared
simultaneously by heating both phases, dissolving the reduced L-glutathione in aqueous form. It used
orange oil as an oily stage, and PEG-400.
Parameters such as organoleptic properties, appearance tests, dye solubilization, pH, viscosity,
dispensability tests, refractive index, product consistency, particle size analysis, zeta potential,
thermodynamic stability tests, stability tests were performed for all batches.
This work offers a stronger release profile of nanoemulsion. Droplet size in nanoformulation is a
crucial parameter. Formulation would be suitable for having the smallest particle size. The smaller the
larger particle size will be drug absorption in systemic circulation at the lowest possible dosage and
optimum therapeutic activity. Reducing dosages of prescribed drugs will further decrease toxicity and
side effects.
