Abstract

The researchers have performed a research on catechin liposome gel. In addition, this research aims to form catechin liposome into gel preparation. In the process of making catechin liposome gel, the researchers used gelling agent, Carbopol 940, which is an acrylic acid polymer with the characteristics of hydrophilic and stable. Carbopol 940 forms a good viscosity for gel preparation. The test for catechin liposome gel using Franz diffusion discovers that drug delivery system by liposomes will produce better absorption than gel absorption without liposome. The result indicates that catechin liposome gel formula I gives better result than catechin gel preparation without liposome.
