The present study was undertaken to extract ketamine powder from ketamine hydrochloride by precipitate ketamine. After that we examine the purity of this powder by infra-red (FTIR) and ultra-violet(UV) spectroscopy. ketamine gel in different concentrations was prepared ( 0.5 , 1 , 5 , 10 , 15 )% to evaluate the antinociceptive activity. ketamine powder was seen is pure and this show in infra-red and ultra-violet scanner. Ketamine gel at concentrations 0.5, 1, 5, 10,15) % produce antinociceptive in mice (5.6±2.2) (4.4±2.0) (8.2±4.3) (10.6±5.2) (8±2.1) second after 2 min respectively by using a hot plate test in comparison with control(2.4±2). The percentage of maximum possible effect (MPE) increased from (9.9) % in control group to (23.3) (18.3) (34.2) (44.2) (33.3)% respectively according to the concentrations of ketamine gel after 2 min . Purification of ketamine powder from ketamine solution and use as a gel to could be of value relief pain by topical application.

Chapter Summaries
The study begins by outlining the historical use of ketamine as a dissociative anesthetic and its analgesic properties. The authors then detail the methods employed to extract pure ketamine powder from ketamine hydrochloride solution and prepare ketamine gel in various concentrations.
The results section presents the analysis of the extracted ketamine powder using infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy, confirming its purity. Analgesic effects of the prepared ketamine gel at different concentrations are evaluated using the hot plate test in mice.
