Isolation of Citronellal from Cymbopogon nardus (L) Rendle and its Activity Test as a Burn Healing in Mice

“…The presence of the citronellal compound as an antibacterial can help inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and prevent infection in the wound, thereby speeding up the process of wound healing. Citronellal is also known to have antioxidant activity high enough to accelerate the regeneration of damaged cells so that it can accelerate the wound healing process by accelerating the growth of new tissues (Lawrence et al, 2012). The number of mice healing from 1 to 14 d 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14…”

“…The distilled essential oil of lemongrass contained citronellal, citronellol and geraniol as three main compounds (Anwar, 2019). Citronellal has high antioxidant activity (Lawrence et al 2012), antibacterial activity that inhibits the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, Pseoudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus mutans (Jamaluddin et al, 2017), and antifungal activity against Tricophytonton tonrum, T. rubrum, T. mushroom, Stricus and Candida albicans (Lely et al, 2018). Based on previous studies, citronellal has potential as a therapy for burns because its ability to inhibit bacteria and fungi probably present in wound.…”

“…The antioxidant activity of lemongrass was analyzed by DPPH scavenging test and the highest inhibition was obtained with essential oils extracted from lemongrass stems (89.5%). The anti-gout test was examined through the xanthine oxidase inhibition (XOI) test with a maximum percentage of xanthine oxi XOI 81.34% obtained from essential oils on the lemongrass stalk [9], [12]. Pelleng research [13] showed a decrease in blood uric acid levels in male white Wistar rats fed with lemongrass herbal steeping.…”
