Abstract
Aim: The aim of present investigation was to formulate and evaluate the ameliorative effect of aqueous extract of Cucumis sativus L. fruit cream formulation on experimentally induced wounds in rats. Materials and Methods: The cream was formulated using soft white paraffin base containing 2.5%, 5%, and 10% w/w of aqueous extract of of Cucumis sativus L. fruit. Excision wounds of size 300 mm 2 and 2 mm depth were used for the study of rate of contraction of wound and epithelization. All the three formulations were evaluated for various pharmaceutical parameters such as pH, viscosity, spreadability, and acute skin irritation study. Epithelialization period, wound contraction, scar width, and histopathological evaluation parameters were used for pharmacological evaluation of wound healing activity of the formulation. Statistical Analysis: All the results were expressed as mean±SEM. Data analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 5.0 software (GraphPad, San Diego, CA, USA). Statistical comparisons were made between drug-treated groups and disease control animals. Data of disease activity index were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance; Dunnett's multiple range test was applied for post hoc analysis, whereas data of wound area and percent wound contraction were analyzed using two-way repeated analysis of variance, Bonferroni's multiple range test was applied for post hoc analysis. A value of P Results: Cream formulation of AECS when applied topically did not show any sign and symptoms of skin irritation. The treatment with aqueous extract of C. sativus fruit cream formulation (2.5%, 5%, and 10% w/w) resulted in significance decrease ( P P P P Conclusion: The present investigation demonstrates that by virtue of its antioxidant property and presence of the flavanoids content in C. sativus may responsible for wound contraction and elevated rate of epithelization in wound healing in laboratory animals.
目的:制备并评价黄瓜果霜水提物对实验性大鼠创面的改善作用。材料与方法:采用含有2.5%、5%、10% w/w黄瓜果实水提物的白色软石蜡基配制乳膏。采用300 mm 2和2 mm深度的切除创面,研究创面收缩率和上皮形成情况。对三种配方进行了各种药物参数的评价,如pH、粘度、涂抹性和急性皮肤刺激研究。采用上皮化期、创面收缩、瘢痕宽度及组织病理学评价参数对制剂创面愈合活性进行药理学评价。统计分析:所有结果均以mean±SEM表示。使用GraphPad Prism 5.0软件(GraphPad, San Diego, CA, USA)进行数据分析。用药组与疾病对照动物进行统计学比较。疾病活动度指数资料采用单因素方差分析;事后分析采用Dunnett’s多极差检验,创面面积和创面收缩百分比数据采用双向重复方差分析,事后分析采用Bonferroni’s多极差检验。结果:局部应用AECS乳膏制剂时,未显示任何皮肤刺激的体征和症状。结论:本研究表明,由于其抗氧化特性和黄酮含量的存在,可能是导致实验动物创面愈合过程中创面收缩和上皮化率升高的原因。
