In the preparation of theophylline cocrystals, phenol coformers facilitate water assimilation due to their weaker O–H⋯N(imidazole) synthon. The presence of –COOH prevents water incorporation and provides added physical stability at high humidity. This study shows the feasibility of cocrystal design of an API to tune physical properties based on hydrogen bond synthons.

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a hydrocolloid with surface activity that could act as emulsifiers in oil-in-water emulsions; however the principal role is that it acts as structuring, thickening, or gelling agent in the aqueous phase. This study aims to evaluate the application of CMC as thickener into nanoemulsions based on olive oil and their influence on particle characteristics, flow behavior, and color. Four nanoemulsions with different oil (5% and 15% w/w olive oil) and CMC (0.5% and 0.75% w/w) concentration and two control samples without CMC added were prepared using Tween 80 as emulsifier. All physical properties studied on nanoemulsions were depending on both oil and CMC concentration. In general, z-average particle size varied among 107–121 nm and those samples with 5% oil and CMC were the most polydisperse. The addition of CMC increased anionic charge of nanoemulsions obtaining zeta potential values among −41 and −55 mV. The oil concentration increased both consistency and pseudoplasticity of samples, although samples were more stable to gravitational separation at the highest CMC concentration. Color of nanoemulsions was affected principally by the oil concentration. Finally, the results showed that CMC could be applied in nanoemulsions as thickener increasing their physical stability although modifying their physical properties.

Papaya (Carica papaya) contains flavonoid and phenolic compounds proven to have sunscreen and antithyrosinase activity. For this reason, there is a need to formulate them in the form of cream preparations. This study analyzes the effect of the ethanol extract concentration of papaya flesh in the form of A / M cream preparations on their physical properties. The extracts were obtained using the maceration method with 70% ethanol solvent in A / M cream preparations and concentrations of 1%, 3%, and 5% through Tween 80 and Span 80 emulgators. Creams were evaluated for physical properties, including pH, adhesion, dispersion, viscosity, and physical stability. The test results showed that an increase in the concentration of ethanol extract led to a decrease in pH (p <0.05), viscosity (p <0.05), adhesion (p <0.05), and an increase in dispersion (p <0.05). Additionally, phase separation occurs at a concentration of 5% papaya fruit extract cream. These results show that variations in the ethanol extract concentration of papaya fruit influence the physical properties of A / M cream.Keywords: Carica papaya; A / M cream; Physical Properties.Pepaya (Carica papaya) mengandung senyawa flavonoid dan fenolik  yang terbukti memiliki aktivitas sebagai tabir surya dan antitirosinase sehingga perlu diformulasikan dalam bentuk sediaan krim.

Aloe vera L. contains antiseptic saponins and anthraquinone complexes as antibacterial. This research was conducted to formulate aloe vera powder into nanoemulgel, characterize and test its physical properties, and to know the effect of gelling agent concentration (carbopol and chitosan) on nanoemulgel. Emulsion type used is oil in water (O / W) with surfactant tween 80 and co-surfactant propylene glycol. Nanoemulsion is characterized by percent of transmittance with UV-Vis spectrophotometer, also potential droplet and zeta size distribution with Particle Size Analyzer. Hydrogels consist of 4 combination formulas of carbopol 0.5%; 1%; 1.5%; 2% and 0.3% chitosan. The formula is tested for physical properties including organoleptic, pH, spreadability, adhesion, viscosity and stability with freeze thaw method. The results showed that the nanoemulsion droplet size was 65.05nm ± 13.49 with zeta potential of -0.1mV and the percent of transmittance above 98%. The result of physical properties of the four formulas shows that the different gelling agent concentration gives different physical properties of viscosity and spreadability. Overall, formula 3 has the best physical properties and physical stability compared to formula 1, 2 and 4.
