Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
Salsola baryosma, native to Punjab, Baluchistan, Sindh areas of Pakistan, has folk use of topical anti microbial effects in crude form in Cholistan desert, Pakistan. In present study this activity was used to prepare creams. The plant roots were shade dried and crushed and petroleum ether, chloroform and ethanol extracts were prepared from successive extraction and different creams were prepared. The stable formulations were selected on the behalf of phase change were selected after one week and reformulated and subjected to 28 days stability studies in stability chambers. Stability study, centrifugation, physical testing, irritancy testing and pH were performed at different intervals from 0 hour to 28 days. The antimicrobial activity of extracts, formulations and Streptomycin as standard was evaluated against E.coli, S.aureus, P.multicoda and B.subtillus.
