The study aimed to investigate the constituents of the ethanolic extract of Micromeria fruticosa and evaluate its antimicrobial and burn healing activities and the isolated compound, rutin. The plant was extracted with ethanol and the active constituents were isolated. The antimicrobial activities of the extract and the isolated compounds were assessed. The burn healing potentiality was evaluated in a second-degree burn model on rats. Five compounds were isolated and identified namely, oleanolic acid 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, apigenin, tectochrysin, 7,4' dihydroxyflavone7-rhamnoglucoside, and rutin. Noticeable antimicrobial activities of the extract, fractions and rutin, were obtained. These effects could be attributed to the isolated flavonoids and triterpenes compounds. The topical application of the extract or rutin significantly reduced the wound size and improved the skin histology. The molecular docking simulations predicted potential inhibitory interaction between rutin and the active site of IKKβ that could be responsible for blocking NF-κB activation; this could explain the possible mechanism by which rutin enhances the burn wounds healing process. Ethanolic extract, fractions and isolated compound, rutin of M. fruticosa exhibited significant antimicrobial activities. The plant extract and rutin demonstrated high potentialities to heal burns.
本研究旨在探究密花香薷(Micromeria fruticosa)乙醇提取物的成分,并评估其抗菌和烧伤愈合活性以及分离得到的化合物芦丁(rutin)。采用乙醇对植物进行提取,分离出活性成分。评估提取物和分离化合物的抗菌活性。在大鼠二度烧伤模型中评估烧伤愈合潜力。分离并鉴定了 5 种化合物,分别为齐墩果酸 3-O-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖苷、芹菜素、刺槐素、7,4'-二羟基黄酮 7-鼠李糖苷和芦丁。提取物、馏分和芦丁均表现出显著的抗菌活性。这些作用可能归因于分离得到的类黄酮和三萜化合物。提取物或芦丁的局部应用显著减小了创面面积并改善了皮肤组织学。分子对接模拟预测芦丁与 IKKβ 活性位点之间可能存在抑制相互作用,从而阻止 NF-κB 的激活;这可以解释芦丁增强烧伤创面愈合过程的可能机制。密花香薷的乙醇提取物、馏分和分离化合物芦丁具有显著的抗菌活性。该植物提取物和芦丁具有治疗烧伤的巨大潜力。
