MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641025413 A) filed by Vels Institute Of Science Technology And Advanced Studies, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on March 3, for 'design and development of a polyherbal topical formulation for wound care applications.'
Inventor(s) include M. Archana; A. Madhumita; Sayeed Anwar. A; Dr. M. Sumithra; Mrs. P. Indhumathy; Mrs. G. Tamilarasi; and Mohan Krishnan M.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a polyherbal topical formulation and a process for its preparation, intended for wound care applications. The formulation comprises extracts of Centella asiatica (Vallari) and Chrysanthemum, selected based on their complementary properties associated with tissue regeneration, inflammation modulation, and oxidative stress management. The invention addresses the need for a safe, cost-effective, and multi-functional topical wound-care system derived from herbal sources. The plant materials are subjected to hydroalcoholic extraction to obtain a semi-solid extract, which is incorporated into a pharmaceutically acceptable topical base selected from a cream or gel system. The formulation is designed to support wound-healing processes through multiple strategies, including maintenance of a moist wound environment, formulation stability, and enhanced user acceptability. Preliminary physicochemical and physical evaluations, including appearance, homogeneity, pH, viscosity, spreadability, and extrudability, were conducted to establish suitability for topical application. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of triterpenoids, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds relevant to wound-care applications. Chemical quality evaluation, including standard guideline-based assessment where applicable, was performed to ensure formulation consistency. The formulation further demonstrated free radical scavenging activity, as evidenced by in-vitro antioxidant evaluation, indicating its relevance in managing oxidative stress commonly associated with wound environments. Analytical standardization using chromatographic techniques, including HPTLC, is contemplated to ensure batch-to-batch reproducibility. The invention provides a systematic, scalable, and eco-friendly approach for developing a polyherbal topical formulation with potential utility in wound care and related dermatological applications."
