Abstract:

The optimal formulation of compound radix arnebiae gel topical preparation (CRAGTP) was screened by ternary phase diagram. Three acute inflammation models (xylene-induced ear swelling, xylene-induced abdominal skin capillary permeability increase, and acetic acid-induced abdominal cavity capillary permeability increase) were used to study the anti-inflammatory effects of CRAGTP. Disc diffusion test (K-B method) was used to study the inhibitory effect of CRAGTP on Staphylococcus aureus (SA), Escherichia coliE.coli) and Pseudomonas areuginas (PA) in vitro. Preliminary results show that the optimal composition of CRAGTP formulation is 0.5% of compound radix arnebiae extract, 26.0% of oil phase mixture, 40.2% of surfactants, 3.3% of glycerin and 30.0% of water. The formulated gel is clear and transparent, with pH of 6.49 and particle size of 22.64 nm. CRAGTP shows great ability to inhibit the xylene-induced ear swelling (P<0.01), xylene-induced increasing of abdominal skin capillary permeability (P<0.01), and acetic acid-induced increasing of abdominal cavity capillary permeability (P<0.05). It has an inhibitory effect on SA and E.coli, but has little inhibitory effect on PA. CRAGTP has a good anti-inflammatory effect and a certain antibacterial activity.
