Gambir (Uncaria gambir, Roxb.) contains catechins that is often empirically used to treat various diseases. Catechins can reduce cholesterol levels by inhibiting coenzyme HMG-CoA reductase that plays a role in cholesterol metabolism. Research has been carried out covering the optimization of transethosomal catechins, the formulation of Transethosomal Catechin Gel (TCG) and Non-Transethosomal Catechin Gel (NTCG), which were then tested for catechin permeation from these gel preparations in vitro using Franz’s diffusion cell with PTFE membranes. The anti-hypercholesterol activity test was carried out with Simvastatin orally as a positive control using 25 male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). The catechin transetosomes have a size of 176.1 ± 5.8 nm, Zeta potential −11.6 ± 5.28, and Entrapment Efficacy of 96.77% ± 0.05. The result of cumulative catechins that permeated from TCG and NTCG were and 172.454 ± 5.287 and 112.741 ± 2.241 μg respectively. Permeation test graphs showed similar permeation and flux profiles. TCG can reduce total cholesterol and LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) values in rats by 39.77% and 51.52% respectively during 14 days of use. |
