Evaluation of antibacterial and wound‐healing activities of alcoholic extract of Boswellia carterii, in vitro and in vivo study

Abstract

Wounds are defined as the cellular and anatomical destruction of tissues that can be caused by chemical, physical, microbiological, thermal, or immunological damage, leading to skin rupture. 1 Wound healing is one of the most complex biological processes, with four overlapping phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferative, and maturation. These phases lead to the regeneration of new tissue. In burn injuries, blood coagulation occurs due to damaged capillaries, followed by inflammation. 2,3 The global cost of wound care averaged 2.8 billion dollars in 2014 and is expected to reach 3.5 billion dollars by 2021. 4 A 2018 analysis

Prolonging broccoli shelf life through controlled release of plai essential oil using palm wood sachet as a novel absorbent material with reusable properties

“…Thujene has been reported to be one of the main components of many essential oils. It has shown strong antibacterial and wound‐healing activities in skin care products (Hasson et al., 2022). Yang et al.…”

“…Thujene has been reported to be one of the main components of many essential oils. It has shown strong antibacterial and wound-healing activities in skin care products (Hasson et al, 2022). Yang et al (2015) demonstrated that terpinen-4-ol could be released from a solid terpinen-4-ol/β-cyclodextrin, resulting in enhanced antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli, with concentrations ranging from 1.25 to 5 mg/mL.…”

In vivo and in vitro efficacy of the ithmid kohl/zinc-oxide nanoparticles, ithmid kohl/Aloe vera, and zinc-oxide nanoparticles/Aloe vera for the treatment of bacterial endophthalmitis

“…Ointment was initially selected as the formulation since it has the ability to remain on surfaces longer than liquid formulations, and is also easy to rub 12 . To prepare an ointment with a uniform consistency and smooth texture of ithmid kohl/ZnONPs, 2.5 g of ithmid kohl and 2.5 g of ZnONPs were mixed with commercially available Vaseline (up to 100 g).…”

“…The ointment was transferred to a clean container and stored in the refrigerator (+ 4 °C) until use. The above-mentioned concentrations were randomly selected to carry out a preliminary study 12 .…”

“…For this study, 24 healthy adult male albino rabbits (1.5–2 kg, aged 1–2 years) were procured from Al-Magmoaa Veterinary Clinic (Iraq). The rabbits were kept in cages and exposed to a 12/12 h light/dark cycle at room temperature, while being provided with food and water 12 . The experiment only started after 1 week to allow the rabbits to acclimatize to the home environment 12 .…”
