Abstract

Introduction: This research aims to create a gel formulation of Brassica juncea leaf extract and assess its anti-inflammatory properties using an in silico study. The anti-inflamma-tory activity has been compared with Diclofenac molecules in PDB id: 4Z69. Further, the Ab-sorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity analysis has been performed to en-sure the therapeutic potential and safety of the drug development process. The Quality by De-sign tool has been applied to optimize formulation development.

Methods: The extracted gel is characterized by performing Fourier transformer infrared, zeta potential, particle size, Scanning Electron Microscope, and entrapment efficiency. Further, the formulation is evaluated by examining its viscosity, spreadability, and pH measurement. An In-vitro study of all nine extract suspensions was conducted to determine the drug contents at 276 nm.

Results: The optimized suspension has shown the maximum percentage of drug release (82%) in 10 hours of study. Animal study for anti-inflammatory activity was performed, and results of all five groups of animals compared the % inhibition of paw edema at three hours; gel (56.70 %), standard (47.86 %), and (39.72 %) were found.

Conclusion: The research could conclude that the anti-inflammatory activity of gel formulation is high compared to extract, and a molecular docking study validates the anti-inflammatory ther-apeutic effects. ADMET analysis ensures the therapeutic effects and their safety.
