Formulation of Gel Hand Sanitizer of Nagasari Leaf Extract (Mesua ferrea L.)

Abstract

Nagasari (Mesua ferrea L.) is one of the biodiversity to be developed as an antiseptic preparation. These plants are known to contain flavonoid compounds, tannins, and terpenoids that act as antibacterial. Hand sanitizer gel preparations can increase the effectiveness of topically. The physical properties of a good gel depend on a gelling agent, one of which is HPMC. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of variations in HPMC levels on physical properties and antibacterial activity. Gels were prepared with various HPMC levels of 1%, 2%, and 3%. The gel was tested for physical properties and stability. All formulas produced preparations that met the requirements for good physical properties and stability. Testing of antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus showed that an increase in HPMC levels could decrease the ability to release the active substance of the preparation. The diameter of the inhibition zone obtained was 10.0 mm (HPMC 1%); 9.5 mm (2% HPMC) and 8.0 mm (3% HPMC). Increasing the concentration of HPMC will increase the viscosity and adhesion but decrease the spreadability. The three formulas had antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with moderate criteria.Keywords: Extract of nagasari leaf, Gel, HPMC, Staphylococcus aureus

“…Therefore, selecting the correct Carbopol concentration is crucial to ensure emulgel dosage forms have the desired spreadability. 74 The adhesion of the three formulas meets the requirements for good adhesion, which is more than 4 seconds, 69,75 as shown in Table 3. Adhesion and spreadability are inversely related, which means that dosage forms with a lower spreadability will have a longer adhesion time and vice versa.…”

“…The thicker the gel produced, there will be a decrease in dispersion while the thinner the gel produced, there will be an increase in dispersion. The greater the dispersion of a preparation, the faster it will penetrate or absorb on the skin [20]. The resulting preparation meets the expected specifications, which is easy to pour and During storage, the pH of hand sanitizer decreases (Figure 5).…”

“…17,32 Propylene glycol is a co-solvent commonly used as a humectant. 17,33 Carbomer is a gelling agent commonly used in making gels. This gelling agent has physicochemical properties, and the concentration of gelling agent used also affects the gel preparation produced.…”

“…The spreadability of a good topical preparation is between 5-7 cm. 33 The spreadability is critical in applying the preparation on the skin, where preparation with good spreadability will provide an even distribution of doses on the skin. 29 The results of the spreadability test of peel-off mask preparations of red dragon fruit extract and corn starch of the three formulas were in the range of 5.5-6.5 cm (Table 4.…”

“…Good adhesion of the gel is recommended not less than 1 second. 33,39 The results of adhesion This could be caused by differences in viscosity between formulas. The higher the PVA concentration, the higher the viscosity, and the higher the adhesion value, as the high molecular weight will increase the adhesion properties.…”
