OVERVIEW ON ANTI-ACNE ACTIVITY OF METHANOL EXTRACT OF DRIED FRUITS OF EMBELIA RIBES
Journal Title: Innoriginal: International Journal Of Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective:The present work was undertaken to validate the folk use of traditional Indian medicinal plant in the treatment of skin disorder by using scientific methods. Method:The anti-acne potential of methanol extract of the fruits of Embelia ribes were evaluated against Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Malassezia furfur using well diffusion method. Result:The result showed that drugs were active against all microorganisms. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of the E.ribes fruits extract against test S.epidermidis, P. acne, and M. furfur were found to be 500 μg/ml, 600 μg/ml, and 400 μg/ml, respectively. Conclusion: It was concluded from the study that the plant materials Embelia ribes are effective in acne vulgaris, and hence this can be used in topical anti-acne preparations.
