The current study was aimed at exploring the plant extract and development of a stable emulgel loaded with the same extract to assess its cosmeceutical potentials.
Methodology: A stable emulgel loaded with methanolic plant extract along with its control gel was prepared by homogenization.
Background: Cigarette smoke (CS) is one of the primary causes of acute lung injury (ALI) via provoking pulmonary inflammation and oxidative stress. Despite substantial studies, no effective treatment for ALI is presently available.
Purpose: New prospective treatment options for ALI are required.
, a medicinal plant with significant traditional importance for curing various human diseases, has potentially bioactive compounds but was less explored previously. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the therapeutic potential of by evaluating the phytochemical profile through high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) techniques and its biological activities ( and ) from the methanolic extract derived from the entire plant (TDME). The secondary metabolite profile of TDME regulated by reverse phase ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (RP-UHPLC-MS) revealed some bioactive compounds by -ve and +ve modes of ionization.
