Background: One of skin diseases that is frequently taking attention among teenagers and young adults is acne or in medical term called acne vulgaris. Acne treatment can be treated by repairing follicular abnormalities, decreasing sebum production, decreasing the number of Propionibacterium acnes colonies and reducing inflammation of the skin. The bacterial population of Propionibacterium acnes can be reduced by giving an antibacterial substance such as erythromycin, clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide. In the treatment of acne we can get antibacterial originating from nature, one of which can be obtained in the secondary metabolism of plants. The extracts and essential oils of betel leaf contain antibacterial and antifungal activities. The effectiveness of the use of betel leaf ethanol extract (Piper betle Linn) in acne treatment can be improved by creating formulations in form of cream preparations. Formulations in cream preparations will affect the amount and speed of active substances that can be absorbed. Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of the ethanol extract cream of betel leaf (piper betle linn) cream in formulas with what percentage of active substance has the most-inhibitory effect on the growth of Propionibacterium acnes. Methods:The study used experimental research. Propionibacterium acnes samples were diluted in 0.9% physiological NaCl sterile and embedded in Nutrient Agar (NA) media. The media was inserted into an incubator at 37 ° C for 24 hours. The test of antibacterial activity used the disk diffusion method. The antibacterial activity test results were statistically analyzed using the Statistical Product Services Solution (SPSS 17) program with a confidence level of 95% (α = 0.05). Results: The three creams containing betel leaf ethanol extracts at percentages of 5%, 10% and 15% for each had inhibitory zones: 9.8 mm, 15.85 mm, 17.35 mm. Conclusion: Cream that contains 15% active substance has the strongest inhibition.

The ethanol extract of Betel leaf (Piper betle L.), an indigenous climber plant of Bangladesh was screened for its antibacterial activity against some foodborne pathogens viz. Vibrio cholerae ATCC 6395, E. coli ATCC 25922,  E. coli O157:H7 NCTC 12049, Shigella dysenteriae-1 MJ-84 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. Experimental  findings revealed that the ethanol extract of betel leaves potentially inhibit the growth of these foodborne  pathogens. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was ranged from 0.625% (w/v) to 0.75% (w/v). The  ethanol extract of betel leaf showed the highest MIC values for E. coli ATCC 25922 (0.625 mm), Vibrio cholera ATCC 6395 (0.625 mm), and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 (0.625 mm). It was revealed that the antibacterial  activity was highest at around neutral pH and at moderate temperature. The highest temperature (100°C)  and the pH (10.0) treated ethanol extract showed a little less activity than the maximum activity at moderate  temperature and at neutral pH, suggesting that the ethanol extract of the betel leaf was to some extent high  temperature and high pH tolerant. The ethanol extract of betel leaf might have a potential application as  natural food preservative to improve the microbiological safety of the foods.

Anisotropic gold nanoparticles, especially gold nanostars, are used in many fields of biomedical applications such as sensing, targeted drug delivery, and diagnostic and photothermal therapy. In this study, we introduced a novel application of gold nanostars as an antimicrobial agent. While spherical gold nanoparticles have an inappreciable effect, gold nanostars exhibit significant antibacterial activity. Besides, the seed-mediated method, a conventional technique for preparing gold nanostars, is rather complex and toxic to human and environment due to unsafe synthesized materials such as surfactants and reducers. In recent years, green chemistry for nanoparticle synthesis is attractive because of its advantages. Instead of the seed-mediated procedure, we present a facile and green procedure to synthesize gold nanostars using ascorbic acid as a reductant and chitosan as a directing-growth agent. The influences of reacting parameters were evaluated to determine the optimal conditions. Star-shaped gold nanoparticles were successfully synthesized with average size tunning from 137.0 ± 20.7   nm to 281.9 ± 25.8   nm of the core and 14.0 ± 4.4   nm to 54.2 ± 11.9   nm of branches. Antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes of gold nanostars was also investigated. Propionibacterium acnes is one of the main reasons causing acne vulgaris. The antibacterial test was evaluated by the plate count and well diffusion method. The results showed a significant effect that gold nanostars could be the prospective agent for replacing antibiotics in acne treatment.
