The present study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a Luliconazole-loaded in-situ gel intended for topical antifungal therapy. In-situ gel systems offer a novel approach to drug delivery by undergoing a sol-to-gel transformation in response to physiological stimuli such as temperature, pH, or ionic interactions. This mechanism facilitates localized, sustained release and enhances drug retention at the application site, thereby improving therapeutic efficacy and patient compliance. Luliconazole, a potent imidazole antifungal agent, was incorporated into a thermosensitive gel matrix using polymers like Poloxamer 407, HPMC, CMC, methyl cellulose, and sodium alginate. The formulations were characterized for pH, viscosity, gelation temperature and time, clarity, drug content, and in vitro antifungal activity against Candida albicans. The optimized formulation (F2) exhibited superior gel strength, desirable viscosity, controlled drug release, and a larger zone of inhibition compared to marketed preparations. These findings suggest that in-situ gel systems are promising platforms for effective and patient-friendly topical antifungal therapy.
