In the paper, the identification and quantification of α- and β-amyrin in five varieties of Humulus lupulus is described. The plant samples were extracted with ethyl acetate and analyzed using of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with PAD detection. The separation was achieved on RP 18 column, at 2 mL/min flow rate and at temperature of 35°C. Acetonitrile was used as a mobile phase. The established calibration curves and the other validation parameters: linearity (correlation coefficient r > 0.9988) and precision (RSD values ranged from 0.14 to 1.81%) were found to be satisfactory for the proposed method. The content of α- and β-amyrin strongly depended on varieties of H. lupulus and amounted from 72.7 to 232.5 μg/g and from 77.9 to 176.9 μg/g of dry plant material, respectively.
This study evaluated hydrogels containing Celugel, 3% hop cone extract obtained from Humulus lupulus L. using supercritical carbon dioxide extraction substrate, and 1% and 2% chitosan for dermatological application to treat inflammatory skin conditions. The presence of chitosan significantly affected the rheological properties of the formulations, including their dynamic viscosity, hardness, consistency, cohesiveness, and blurring time. The formulations containing 2% chitosan showed the best application possibilities. The formulations were evaluated for dissolution of cohumulone, which is an analogue of humulone contained in hop cone extract. The concentration of chitosan in the formulations had a significant effect on the dissolution testing parameters of the active ingredient: as the chitosan concentration increased, the desired effect of prolonged release time of the active ingredient was achieved while maintaining the membrane-forming properties of Celugel.
