Formulation, In Vitro and In Silico Evaluations of Anise (Pimpinella anisum L.) Essential Oil Emulgel with Improved Antimicrobial Effects

Faizul Azam et al.

Summary: In the past decade, researchers have developed gel-based formulations as alternatives to traditional hydrogels and emulgels. Anise, the main constituent of Pimpinella anisum L., was selected as the active ingredient due to its strong antibacterial properties. This study aimed to develop an herbal emulgel for treating skin infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Tests and evaluations were conducted on an emulgel solution containing anise essential oil, which showed good stability and potential as an antibacterial formulation against Escherichia coli (E. coli) as a model organism.
