Abstract
Present investigation was to develop novel ointment formulation in combination of natural wound healing agent curcuma longa, which is reported to possess wound healing and anti-bacterial activities.Combination of neomycin sulphate and curcuma longa is good rational, where curcuma longa produces synergistic wound healing effect with neomycin sulphate. Formulations containing fixed concentration (0.5 %) of neomycin sulphate and 3 %, 4 % and 5 % of curcuma longa were prepared. To assess the efficacy of formulations anti-bacterial activity, rheology, stability, spreadability and other physicalcharacteristics were evaluated. The results obtained were encouraging and formulation containing neomycin sulphate (0.5 %) with 5 % of curcuma longa was found better than other formulations.
