Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the potential of using bacterial cellulose as a carrier for glycyrrhetinic acid, a compound known for its anti-inflammatory properties useful in treating eczema.
  • This research focuses on creating and evaluating glycyrrhizic acid hydrogels utilizing unmodified bacterial cellulose, employing methods like physical crosslinking and optimization techniques.
  • Findings indicate that the glycyrrhizic acid-bacterial cellulose hydrogel shows good skin permeability, minimal irritation, and effectively supports skin recovery from induced eczema, outperforming conventional hydrogels.

Developing a new drug delivery system is one of the useful approaches to overcome the limited use of berberine (BBR) to enhance its absorption and bioavailability. We prepared a novel berberine-glycyrrhizic acid (BBR-GL) complex formulation to increase the plasma concentration and bioavailability of BBR by improving BBR solubility and lowering the absorption barrier. The complex formulation with BBR and GL in the ratio 1:1 was developed through the self-assembly process and evaluated .
