ABSTRACT
Aim: Formulation and Evaluation of Topical Nanoemulgel for Diabetic Wound Healing by using
Trigonella Foenum Graecum and Aegle Marmelos Leaves extract.
Methods: O/W nanoemulsions were prepared by the ultrasonication method. F1 to F7 different
formulations of combination of Trigonella Foenum Graecum [TFG] and Aegle Marmelos Leaves
[AML] extract loaded nanoemulsions were prepared successfully and evaluated. From evaluation study
best nanoemulsion formulation was selected and further it was incorporated into 1% and 1.5% Carbopol
to create a gel that would make applying medication topically more convenient.
Results and Discussion: The nanoemulsion area was determined by using pseudoternary phase
diagrams. TFG seed oil choosen as oil phase, Tween 80 and Propylene glycol used as surfactant and
cosurfactant respectively. The nanoemulsion formulations were evaluated for physical appearance,
particle size, zeta potential, rheology study, In-vitro permeation study. From this evaluation F3
formulation was selected for incorporate into the gel base to form Nanoemulgel. The nanoemulgel
formulations were evaluated for rheological study, drug content determination, In-vitro permeation
study, Anti-microbial activity; In-vitro wound healing activity. Anti-microbial activity of prepared
nanoemulgel was compared with conventional gel. The wound healing capabilities of nanoemulgel was
assayed by performing In-vitro cell migration studies on L929 cells and compared with standard drug
cipladine. The % of cells migrated towards the wound of nanoemulgel and cipladine were found to be
37% and 81% in 48 hrs.Conclusion: Study concluded that topical nanoemulgel of TFG and AML Posses an effective Anti-
microbial activity and it showed moderate wound healing activity.
