Elaboración de un gel con actividad cicatrizante a base del extracto de calendula officinalis l.

Abstract

Through the compilation of bibliographic information, the formulation and process of elaboration of a gel with healing activity based on the glycolic extract of the flowers of Calendula officinalis L. is presented. The tests and parameters for the evaluation of the quality of the crude drug were described, in order to later obtain a glycolic extract by percolation, which meets the requirements established by the pharmacopeias and achieves the quantification of the metabolite responsible for the healing effect. Also, the process of elaboration of the gel is presented following quality parameters for a safe final product, ensuring the efficacy and safety in its therapeutic effectiveness
