Abstract
Angsana leaves ethanol extracts known to provide antibacterial activity. The aim of this study was to determine the inhibitory activity produced by spray gel using a combination base of carbopol 940 and HPMC against Staphylococcus aureus as one of the bacteria causes of skin infections. Three formulas were prepared with various base concentrations then tested for its antibacterial activity by disc diffusion method. On initial study showed that concentration of 30% angsana leaves extract gave best inhibition so it was used in formula. The base concentration at F1 was 0.4% carbopol 940 and 0.4% HPMC, F2 was 0.2% carbopol 940 and 0.4% HPMC and F3 was 0.4% carbopol at 10.5, 11mm, and 11mm. The combination of gelling agent used in the formula did not show a significant difference in antibacterial activity, but the formula needs to be studied further to evaluate its performance.
