Details

This study explores using Houttuynia cordata and Piper retrofractum extracts to inhibit opportunistic infections in atopic dermatitis patients. The research involves phytochemical analysis and antimicrobial testing against five bacterial strains to develop potential treatments.

Atopic dermatitis patients are the second largest number among skin disease patients. There is no cure for atopic dermatitis, and it can only be treated to relieve symptoms, causing chronic disease. There is a chance that opportunistic infections will enter and cause more disease from the patient's wound, causing the patient to have complications from other infections. This study is interested in studying the reduction of the chance of opportunistic infections in patients with atopic dermatitis using natural extracts. The interest is in Plu Kaow and long pepper because there is data supporting the inhibition of microorganisms. The leaves of both plants are crudely extracted, soaked in 95% ethanol for 7 days, filtered with a Buchner filter, and the extracts are tested for phytochemicals to analyze phenolic components, flavonoids, tannins, anthocyanin, DPPH, and tested for antimicrobial properties. The experiments consisted of 5 types of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria: E. coli, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The researcher expects that this can be further developed and used to treat patients with atopic dermatitis.

Objective

The objectives are to extract compounds from Houttuynia cordata and long pepper to inhibit pathogens, analyze their phytochemical properties, and evaluate their antioxidant efficacy.

  1. To extract compounds from Houttuynia cordata and long pepper leaves for inhibiting pathogenic microorganisms in atopic dermatitis patients.
  2. To study the phytochemical properties of the extracts from Houttuynia cordata and long pepper leaves.
  3. To evaluate the antioxidant efficacy of the extracts from Houttuynia cordata and long pepper leaves.
