Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to develop a novel formulation (Phytosome) of umbelliferone with phospholipid for improved permeability, solubility and hence better pharmacological action.

Methods: The phytosomal complex was prepared by using solvent evaporation method and optimised by applying the Box-Behnken design on the basis of complexation rate and partition coefficient. The formation of phytosomes was confirmed by FTIR, DSC, SEM, XRD, HPTLC and NMR by comparing the results of the complex with the drug. The photoprotective potential of complex against UV-exposure was evaluated in rats and compared with the drug by incorporating it in a gel and estimating the antioxidant enzymes in skin namely reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase, lipid peroxidation and catalase.

Results: The crystalline drug was completely converted to amorphous complex. The complex showed a good practical yield, drug content and particle size was in the range. The solubility of the complex was determined by partition coefficient method and was found to be better than the drug. The ex vivo and in-vitro permeation of the complex showed improved permeation for complex than the drug. The in vitro antioxidant activity of complex was evaluated by DPPH and ferrozine antioxidant assay and was better than the drug. The photoprotective action of the complex was found to be better than drug on the basis of the content of antioxidant enzymes estimated in the skin.

Conclusion: The phytosomal complex was found to show better solubility in the water phase and oil phase, better permeation, better antioxidant activity and a better photo-protective activity when compared to umbelliferone.
