INTRODUCTION
The I.P. defines Gels are homogeneous, semisolid preparations usually consisting of solutions or dispersions of
one or more medicaments in suitable hydrophilic or hydrophobic bases. As per the definition of U.S.P. Gels as a
semisolid system consisting of dispersion made up of either small inorganic particle or large organic molecule
enclosing and interpenetrated by liquid. The inorganic particles form a three-dimensional “house of cards”
structure.
As far as structure is concerned, Gels consist of two-phase system in which inorganic particles are not dissolved
but merely dispersed throughout the continuous phase and large organic particles are dissolved in the
continuous phase, randomly coiled in the flexible chains. Gels are typically formed from a liquid phase that has
been thickened with other components. They are normally prepared with the aid of suitable gelling agents like
HPMC, Carbopol and Sodium CMC etc. Substances such as antioxidants, stabilizers and antimicrobial
preservatives are used as additives in the formulation of gels.
Delivery of drugs to the skin is an effective and targeted therapy for local dermatological disorders. This route
of drug delivery has gained popularity because it avoids first pass effects, gastrointestinal irritation, and
metabolic degradation associated with oral administration. Due to the first past effect only 25-/45% of the orally
administered dose reaches the blood circulation. In order to bypass these disadvantages the gel formulations
have been proposed as topical application. Topical gel formulations provide suitable delivery system for drugs
because they are less greasy and can be easily removed from the skin. They are intended to be applied to the
skin or certain mucous membranes for protective, prophylactic or therapeutic purposes.
Aceclofenac is a Diclofenac derivative of the Non–Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drug3,4,5 (NSAID), which is
chemically, (2-[2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl) amino phenyl]acetyl] oxyacetic acid)6,7. Aceclofenac is used in
treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, acute lumbago, and dental pain condition. Like other NSAIDs,
oral administration of this drug is also associated with severe gastrointestinal side effects like- ulceration and
gastro intestinal bleeding liver and kidney trouble The solution of problems like side effects associated with
systemic delivery of NAIDs lies in the fact that, topically applied NSAIDs are safer than and as efficacious as
oral NSAIDs. Furthermore, the transdermal route of administration has a high patient compliance, which
derives from it being non-invasive and the long interval between applications. Transdermal administration also
provides a means to obtain constant systemic drug levels.
There are few dermatological inflammatory conditions and wounds where gel formation of NSAIDs like
aceclofenac could be helpful. Interestingly topical dermatological products are intended for localized action on
one or more layers of skin. Although some medication form this topical product may unintentionally reach
systemic circulation, it is usually in subtherapeutic concentrations, and does not produce effect of any major
concern except in special situations such as pregnant or nursing patients.
The major drawback of Aceclofenac is its poor aqueous solubility, carbomers are extensively used in non-
parenteral medicines particularly topical liquid and semi-solid preparations, HPMC is also widely used in
topical gels and ointments as an excipient it is non-toxic and non-irritant materials hence HPMC, Carbopol 940
and Sodium CMC were selected as an ideal gel base and are incorporated to gel bases by trituration.
Piperine is major alkaloids of the pepper fruits which belong to a piperaceae family. Piperine forms monoclinic
needles, slightly soluble in water and more soluble in alcohol, ether or chloroform. It is a weak base that is
5267
tasteless at first, but leaves a burning aftertaste. Its molecular formula is C17H19NO3, and its molecular weight is
285.34 daltons. Piperine is the trans-trans stereoisomer of 1-piperoylpiperidine. It is also known as (E, E)-1-
piperoylpiperidine and (E, E)-1-[5-(1, 3-benzodioxol-5-y1)-1-oxo-2, 4-pentdienyl] piperidine. 1,2,3

act as a penetration enhancer. It has putative anti-inflammatory activity and may have activity in promoting
digestive processes. Piperine has been demonstrated to increase the serum levels and lengthen the serum half
lives of some nutritional substances, such as coenzyme Q10 and beta-carotene. It is speculated that piperine may
act as a so-called thermonutrient and increase the absorption of certain nutritional substances from the
gastrointestinal tract by producing a local thermogenic action.

Experimental Animal
Adult wistar albino rats, weighing (150-200g) were procured from Institutional of Health and Biologicals,
Mhow (Indore, India). The animals were feed a normal laboratory pellet diet and water adlibitum. They were
housed in colony cages under standard laboratory conditions (12:12h light and day cycle, temperature at
25±2°C and relative humidity at 55±10%). The ethical clearance was obtained from Institutional Animal Ethics
Committee (TIT/IAEC/831/PHARMACEUTICS/2013/07) at TIT, Bhopal, India for using animal in the present
study.
METHOD:
ISOLATION OF PIPARINE4, 5, 6:
150mL of 95% ethanol and 5 boiling chips was added in 15g black pepper and heat at reflux for 2hrs. Using
suction filtration, the mixture was filtered and then concentrated to a volume of 10-15mL by simple distillation.
10mL of 10% solution of KOH in 95% ethanol was added in a 125mL Erlenmeyer flask and concentrated
pepper extract was mixed and heated. The resulting mixture was diluted with water. A yellow precipitate was
formed. Water was added to yellow precipitate until no more solid appears and then the mixture was allowed to
stand at least overnight. The resulted solid extracts were collected by suction filtration and recrystallized with
10-20mL of acetone
aceclofenac was added. The above mixture was allowed to cool at room temperature and carbopol base was
added. Menthol was dissolved in IPA till the clear solution was obtained; this solution was added to above gel.

and the pH was adjusted between 7.0 – 7.5. Gel was packed in aluminum collapsible tube. This formulation
was marked as batch no. Ac-1.
pH -The pH of gel was determined using digital pH meter. 2 gm Aceclofenac gel was stirred in distilled water
till a uniform suspension is formed. The volume was made up to 40 ml and pH of the solution was measured.
Viscosity-Viscosity of the gel was determined by using (LV) Brookfield viscometer (Dial type). As the system
is non-Newtonian spindle no. 4 is used. Viscosity was measured for the fixed time 2 min for 0.3 rpm.
Skin irritation7 - Ten healthy male and female volunteers were selected for skin irritation testing. 100 mg gel
was applied on area of 2 cm for 6 hours, on the interior surface of upper arm and covered with cotton bandage.
After 6 hr the sites were cleaned with acetone and readings are made according to the scale given by Draize.

S = M. L / T
Where, S = spreadability
M = weight tied to upper slide
L = length of glass slide
T = time taken
Shorter time interval, to cover distance of 6.5 cm, indicates better spreadability.
Extrudability1, 13, 14 - In this test, sample is extruded from the tube by usual procedure. A closed collapsible
tube containing gel was passed firmly at crimpened end. When the cap was removed, gel extrudes until pressure
was dissipates. The weight in grams required to extrude 0.5 cm ribbon of gel in 10 seconds was determined. The
results for each formulation were recorded as extrusion pressure in grams.
Drug Content 15, 16 - 1gm gel was dissolved with little amount of methanol in a 100 ml volumetric flask and
mixture was shaken till solution was affected. The volume was made up to 100 ml with methanol. The solution
was filtered through Whatman filter paper (No. 41). Further dilute 5ml to 50 ml with methanol. The absorbance
of the solution was measured at 275 nm (systronics pc based double beam spectrophotometer 2202) against
reagent blank.
The modified Patel et al (2007) method was used for the measurement of bioadhesive strength. The fresh skin
was cut into pieces and washed with 0.1 N NaoH. Two pieces of skin were tied to the two glass slide separately
from that one glass slide was fixed on the wooden piece and other piece was tied with the balance on right hand
side. The right and left pans were balanced by adding extra weight on the left – hand pan. 1 gm of topical gel
was placed between these two slides containing hairless skin pieces, and extra weight from the left pan was
removed to sandwich the two pieces of skin and some pressure was applied to remove the presence of air. The
balance was kept in this position for 5 minutes. Weight was added slowly at 200 mg/ min to the left – hand pan

until the patch detached from the skin surface. The weight (gram force) required to detach the gel from the skin
surface gave the measure of bioadhesive strength. The bioadhesive strength was calculated by using following:
Bioadhesive Strength = Weight required (g) / Area (cm2)

between the means of Aceclofenac gel formulation with control and positive control group. The mean and
standard error mean (SEM) of n = 5 were calculated. Data were considered statistically significant at P < 0.05.
For the in vivo studies, differences between drug treated and control groups were also evaluated using
Dennett‟s„t‟ test. The mean and SEM of n =5 were calculated. A probability level of P < 0.05 was considered

Anti-inflammatory Effect
The carrageenan-induced oedema test was used to examine the invivo effects of the developed Acelofenac gel
formulations. Intraplantar injection of carrageenan caused a time-dependent paw oedema in the rat, whereas the
saline injection did notcause swelling. The application of the formulations (Positive control, Ac-2a, Ac-2b, and
Ac-2c) inhibited paw swelling (Fig. 2).The maximum percent inhibition for Ac-2a was observed at 5 h which
was 61.42% , likewise, Ac-2b and Ac-2cwas observed at 4 h which was found to be 65.71% and 64.29%
respectively (Table 06).
Carrageenan administration into the rat hind paw produced a significant inflammation associated with
hyperalgesia, as shown by decreased rat paw withdrawal latency in response to a thermal stimulus.

Previously it has been reported that the formulations having a better drug release profile will have the strongest
acute anti-inflammatory activity. Similarly, the results of this study demonstrated that the Ac-2a, Ac-2b and Ac-
2c having better cumulative % of drug release (99.3, 100.2 and98.1 respectively) possessed the strongest anti-

inflammatory activity.

Vol 3, Issue 7, 2013. Vijay Kumar Singh et al. ISSN NO: 2231-6876
In order to have a better comparison between the anti inflammatory activity of Aceclofenac pure (positive
control) and Aceclofenac gel (Ac-2a, Ac-2b and Ac-2c), evaluation was made on the basis of their ability to
inhibit the oedema produced in hind paw of rats after challenging with the carrageenan.
In control group, the increase in paw volume was (0.34±0.007) ml at first hour. With time, the increase in paw
volume increased up to 4th hour and then decreased, following administration of pure aceclofenac at a dose of
10mg/kg body weight.
On the other hand, the increase in paw volume following administration of aceclofenac gel (Ac-2a, Ac-2b, and
Ac-2c) was slightly higher than that produced by the pure drug. However, the change in paw volume with time
followed the same pattern. Pure Aceclofenac inhibits the paw oedema volume but to a lesser extent, on the other
hand the inhibitory or anti-inflammatory effect produced by aceclofenac loaded gel was found over a long
period of time.
From these observations it can be concluded that piperine is a bioavailability enhancing agent as it enhances
bioavailability of aceclofenac. It enhances local absorption and inhibits various metabolizing enzymes. This
provides scientific basis for use of Piperine to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of the concurrently administered
drugs.
In the tail flick test, the maximum analgesic response of Ac-2a was observed at 45 and 90 min. Moreover, the
Ac-2a analgesic response peaked at 90 min. Likewise in Ac-2b the maximum response was observed at 45 min
and in Ac-2c was at 45 min (Table 07).
In the hot plate test, the maximum analgesic response of Ac-2a was determined to be 8.4 ± 0.25 at 90 min.
Likewise in Ac-2b the maximum response was observed at 45 and 60 min and in Ac-2c was at 45 min (Table
08). Statistically the difference was found to be very significant with p<0.001 with comparison to control with
treated group (Ac-2a, Ac-2b, and Ac-2c).

CONCLUSSION
Table 1: Composition of Acelofenac gel formulation
Table 2: Evaluation of appearance, pH, skin irritation, viscosity of different batch of acelofenac gel formulation
The overall results of this study indicate that Acelofenac Topical gel having Piperine are superior to
5274
conventional dosage forms due to much better result of formulation, anti-inflammatory and anti-analgesic
profile. It can also play a vital role in efficient drug delivery of drug like various anti-inflammatory and anti-
analgesic agents.
