Antibacterial and Toxicity Evaluation of Eastern Medicine Formulation Eczegone for the Management of Eczema.

ABSTRACT: The present study was conducted to evaluate the antibacterial activity, in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity, cell viability and safety of Eastern Medicine coded medicinal formulation Eczegone comprising extracts of Azadirachta indica (Azin), Fumaria indica (Fuin), Sphaeranthus indicus (Spin) and Lawsonia inermis (Lain). This work also evaluated antibacterial activity of Eczegone formulation having above mentioned plants ethanolic extracts against different bacteria's by disk diffusion method. In vitro toxicity of Eczegone formulation was investigated by using human skin keratinocytes HaCaT cell line, crystal violet stained cells, and methyl tetrazolium cytotoxicity (MTT) assay. In vivo acute oral and dermal cytotoxicity was determined by using Swiss albino mice and albino rabbits, respectively. The Eczegone formulation showed antibacterial activity against 3 gram negative bacteria including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Proteus vulgaris and a gram positive Staphylococcus aureus. We didn't observe any toxic effect of Eczegone formulation on the skin keratinocytes. Furthermore, the Ezcegone formulation was non-irritant according to draize score (OECD TG404, 2002). After rigorous safety evaluation by in vitro and in vivo acute oral and dermal toxicity analysis, we concluded that Eczegone formualtion possessses antibacterial effects and is safe, non-toxic, non-irritant, and the drug would be subjected for further biochemical and clinical studies.

Project description:Antibiotic resistance has become a major public health problem generated by their excessive and inappropriate use. This is worrisome because multiple microbial infections that could traditionally be treated without major complications are now considerably challenging to treat. In this regard, research in this field has been focused on searching for new molecules capable of arresting these microbial infections with high effectiveness, including antimicrobial peptides (AMP) and various nanomaterials. Here, we proposed a novel topical hydrogel treatment based on a polymeric network of gelatin-polyvinyl alcohol-hyaluronic acid encapsulating a graphene oxide (GO) nanoconjugate on which silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have been grown. This treatment is intended to be stable, biocompatible, non-toxic, pleasant to skin contact, provide bioavailability of the active agent for a prolonged period in the affected skin area where its application is required and inhibit microbial growth effectively. The nanocomposite hydrogels were characterized in terms of microstructure, thermal resistance, rheological behavior, particle size distribution, texture profile and physical stability, as well as a one-month accelerated stability study. The satisfactory results in terms of physical chemistry, stability on storage modulus (G’), TSI values, and microstructure allowed choosing some points of the experimental design to encapsulate the GO-Ag NPs nanoconjugates. The biological evaluation of these nanocomposites showed that the treatments are biocompatible as they have a very low hemolytic effect (less than 5%) and a moderate platelet aggregating capacity (35%–45%). Finally, 100% of bacterial growth was inhibited by the action of the topical nanocomposite hydrogel treatments. These results led to affirm that these treatments can have an excellent performance in this application as well as in wound healing and dressing, bioadhesives, tissue engineering, and other biomedical applications.
