Herbal remedies like the Thymus serpyllum L. is useful in traditional medicine for the treatment of many diseases especially congestion, and bronchitis. The purpose of this study was to formulate a micro-emulsion, a gel and an ointment containing the plant hydro distilled thymus oil extracted from Thymus serpyllum L. collected from Ziarat, Balochistan. The prepared formulations were subjected to in-vitro and ex vivo study release, High performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), to justify their suitability for topical use. The in-vitro and ex-Vivo release was studied using Franz Cells and using two different kinds of membrane synthetic dialysis cellulose membrane and natural rabbit skin and the amount of drug released was determined by HPLC at λ 274nm. The three formulations result obtained through dialysis cellulose membrane showed the faster release than the natural rabbit skin. However, the micro-emulsion, gel formulation showed the same release except ointment. The release from the above mentioned formulation can be arranged in the following descending order. micro-emulsion > Gel > Ointment. The best fit of release kinetics was achieved by Krosmeyer- Peppas, the TLC and HPLC identifies the Thymol, isolation and quantification of the marker. This study demonstrates that it is necessary to assess the impact of release and permeability pattern of different formulations. In vitro and ex-vivo diffusion cell experiments can be utilized to develop formulations of traditional medicines identifies.
