Formulation and Evaluation of Herbal Ethosomal Cream of Passiflora foetida Linn. for the Treatment of Psoriasis

Abstract

Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition with the most significant and far-reaching consequences for humans. In order to cure psoriasis, an herbal ethosomal cream was developed, and one of the plants that went into its production was the Passiflora foetida Linn. plant. A large number of distinct phytochemical identification tests were carried out with the use of a broad range of reagents. The ability of an antioxidant to reduce free radicals, as measured by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), is one way that its effectiveness may be shown. Coconut oil, olive oil, and vitamin E oil are the three essential oils combined to make the final product. All of these oils bring its own unique set of medicinal benefits to the table. The liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis carried out on the herbal extract revealed the presence of phytoconstituents inside the sample. The overall quality of the cream that was produced was evaluated. The LC-MS approach was used to dissect the anti-inflammatory and psoriasis-fighting components included in herbal remedies. An attempt to treat psoriasis using herbal medicine was made using the ethosomes of the P. foetida Linn. plant.
