The present research focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a microsponge-based topical gel containing Karanjin for the treatment of skin conditions such as psoriasis. Microsponges were prepared using the quasi-emulsion solvent diffusion technique with ethyl cellulose and polyvinyl alcohol as key polymers. The formulated microsponges were characterized in terms of particle size, production yield, and encapsulation efficiency. The optimized microsponge formulation was incorporated into a Carbopol 940-based gel and evaluated for physical properties including pH, viscosity, spreadability, and drug content. In vitro, diffusion studies and release kinetics were conducted using a Franz diffusion cell, and the formulation followed Korsmeyer-Peppas release behavior. The optimized gel demonstrated sustained drug release, good stability, and effective potential for topical delivery. The study concludes that the microsponge-loaded gel system provides a promising approach for enhanced therapeutic efficacy and controlled release of Karanjin through the skin.
