Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a new ointment formulation utilizing the natural wound healing properties of curcuma longa, which has been recognized for its wound healing and antibacterial properties. Combining neomycin sulphate with curcuma longa is a sound approach, as curcuma longa enhances the wound healing effects of neomycin sulphate synergistically. Formulations were prepared with a fixed concentration of neomycin sulphate (0.5%) and varying concentrations of curcuma longa (3%, 4%, and 5%). The formulations were evaluated for their antibacterial activity, rheology, stability, spreadability, and other physical characteristics to assess their efficacy. The results were promising, with the formulation containing neomycin sulphate (0.5%) and 5% curcuma longa demonstrating superior performance compared to the other formulations.
