Preparation of an in-situ gel containing lycopene and raspberry plant formulation and analysis of its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects is described. Lycopene is known for its anticancer and antioxidant activity. It induces apoptosis, thereby reducing
the cancer cells, and also reduces the injury of cells due to oxidative activity. Similarly, raspberry also contains antioxidants properties which can help to reduce oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. This study includes extracts containing 25% of
Raspberry and 10% lycopene, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, Carbopol, sodium chloride, and distilled water. This in-situ gel was then tested for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory assay using DPPH (2, diphenyl 1-picryl- hydrazyl- hydrate)
and bovine serum albumin (BSA), antioxidant assay revealed that the inhibition percentage was more with 50 µL (61.3) of gel and anti-inflammatory assay showed significant results with 10 µL (90.2) of gel. In-situ gel containing lycopene and Raspberry has
significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity.
