Formulation and Preparation of Pharmaceuticals with Anti-rheumatic Effect Using the Active Principles of Capsicum Annuum and Piper Nigrum

The present paper aims at obtaining two pharmaceutical formulas based on two active principles extracted from two plants well-known for their contents of capsaicin and piperine, respectively, Capsicum Annuum and Piper Nigrum. After the extraction of the active principles, we pursued their identification using chromatographic and spectrophotometric methods. Subsequently, we produced two pharmaceutical formulas, an ointment and a cream, in view of using them in rheumatic diseases as anti-inflammatory medicine.
