Acne is a common skin condition caused by the growth of certain bacteria. Many plant extracts have been investigated for their potential to combat acne-inducing microbes, and one such plant extract is microwave-assisted extract (MA-OHE). The MA-OHE was loaded onto zinc-aminoclay (ZnAC) and encapsulated in a Pickering emulsion system (MA-OHE/ZnAC PE) to evaluate its therapeutic potential against acne-inducing microbes. Dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize MA-OHE/ZnAC PE with a mean particle diameter of 353.97 nm and a PDI of 0.629. The antimicrobial effect of MA-OHE/ZnAC was evaluated against () and (), which contribute to acne inflammation. The antibacterial activity of MA-OHE/ZnAC was 0.1 and 0.025 mg/mL to and , respectively, which were close to naturally derived antibiotics. Additionally, the cytotoxicity of MA-OHE, ZnAC, and MA-OHE/ZnAC was tested, and the results showed that they had no cytotoxic effects on cultured human keratinocytes in a range of 10-100 μg/mL. Thus, MA-OHE/ZnAC is suggested to be a promising antimicrobial agent for treating acne-inducing microbes, while MA-OHE/ZnAC PE is a potentially advantageous dermal delivery system.
痤疮是一种常见的皮肤病症,由某些细菌的生长引起。许多植物提取物因其对抗诱发痤疮的微生物的潜力而受到研究,其中一种植物提取物是微波辅助提取(MA-OHE)。MA-OHE 被负载到锌-氨基粘土(ZnAC)上,并封装在 Pickering 乳液体系(MA-OHE/ZnAC PE)中,以评估其针对诱发痤疮的微生物的治疗潜力。动态光散射和扫描电子显微镜用于表征 MA-OHE/ZnAC PE,其平均粒径为 353.97nm,PDI 为 0.629。MA-OHE/ZnAC 对 ()和 ()的抗菌作用进行了评估,这两种细菌都有助于痤疮炎症。MA-OHE/ZnAC 的抗菌活性对 和 分别为 0.1 和 0.025mg/mL,接近天然来源的抗生素。此外,还测试了 MA-OHE、ZnAC 和 MA-OHE/ZnAC 的细胞毒性,结果表明它们在 10-100μg/mL 的范围内对培养的人角质形成细胞没有细胞毒性作用。因此,MA-OHE/ZnAC 被认为是一种有前途的治疗诱发痤疮的微生物的抗菌剂,而 MA-OHE/ZnAC PE 是一种有潜力的皮肤递药系统。
