Abstract

Acne (Acne vulgaris) is a common skin disorder often caused by the bacterium Cutibacterium acnes. Bacterial resistance to antibiotics used in acne treatment has become a significant concern. This study evaluated the effect of incubation time on the diameter of the inhibition zone produced by binahong (Anredera cordifolia) leaf extract in inhibiting the growth of C. acnes. The well diffusion method was employed using extract concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. Data analysis was conducted using a paired t-test. The results showed a significant difference (p < 0.001) in the inhibition zones formed based on variations in incubation time. The findings indicated that longer incubation times resulted in larger inhibition zones. Binahong leaf extract was found to be effective in inhibiting the growth of C. acnes, particularly at higher concentrations and with longer incubation durations. These results demonstrate the potential of binahong leaf extract as an effective acne treatment to address antibiotic resistance.

Abstract

Introduction: The cases of antibiotic resistance in the treatment of acne vulgaris have been steadily increasing. A study conducted by the Dermatology Clinic of Hanyang University Hospital, South Korea, showed an increase in antibiotic resistance cases in the management of acne vulgaris, with resistance rates of 30% for clindamycin and 26.7% for erythromycin. One adjunctive therapy believed to be a breakthrough in anticipating the increase in antibiotic resistance causing acne vulgaris is the use of garlic extract. This study aims to conduct antibacterial phytochemical screening of garlic extract in inhibiting the growth of Cutibacterium acnes. Methods: The antibacterial active compounds in garlic plants were identified through phytochemical screening. Meanwhile, the antibacterial test was conducted using the well diffusion method with garlic extract concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. Clindamycin was used as the positive control. Results: The phytochemical screening results of garlic extract in this study revealed the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, phenols, and terpenoids. In the antibacterial test using the well diffusion method, the largest inhibition zone was observed with clindamycin treatment, while the smallest inhibition zone diameter was recorded with 25% garlic extract concentration. Discussion: The active antibacterial compounds found in garlic extract, including flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, phenols, and terpenoids, have been proven to inhibit the growth of Cutibacterium acnes, as indicated by the formation of inhibition zone diameters in the antibacterial test.

Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by polymorphic lesions in the form of comedones, papules, pustules, nodules & cysts in predilection locations. Acne vulgaris is the third most frequent case of the 10 most common skin diseases that often come to health services. The incidence of acne vulgaris can occur due to various factors, including increased androgen hormones, increased sebum production and excessive growth of the Cutibacterium acne bacteria. Cutibacterium acnes bacteria play a role in the inflammatory process which increases the worsening of skin conditions with the enzymes and pro-inflammatory factors produced. Young people are the age who suffer from acne vulgaris more often (85%) with a range of 12-25 years. The diagnosis of acne vulgaris is generally easy to make but therapy results are often unsatisfactory. Medications that are often involved in treating acne vulgaris are the use of topical and systemic antibiotics, retinoids, and anti-clindamycin agents. The purpose of this review article is to find out more about acne vulgaris based on pathogenesis. It is hoped that a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris will be able to provide much better therapeutic options, resulting in optimal improvements in acne vulgaris therapy.
