Abstract. Biocellulose mask sheet is a new found pharmaceutical cosmetic design that widely commercial. Mostly due to it’s biodegradable properties, provide an eco-friendly waste. Combination of Aloe vera essence (AE) and Vit E to provide and determine it’s respective anti-acne properties in biocellulose mask form. Formulation of biocellulose mask with the help of Acetobacter xylinum bacteria varied with different formulae: F1 (Vitamin E 1%), F2 (E 2.5 %), F3 (AE 5%), F4 (AE 2.5%+Vit E 1%) and F5 (AE 5%+Vit E 1%) followed antimicrobials test with common acne bacteria by diffusion disk against Propionibacterium acne (PAC) ATCC 6919 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAA) ATCC 27853. Study revealed that each formulae design F1; F2; F3; F4; F5 tested against PAC diffusion disk resulted 7.86; 11.67; 10.13; 112.10; 10.33 mm respectively. As for PAA diffusion disk resulted 7.76; 11.63; 10.33; 11.67; 11.00 mm respectively. Biocellulose mask containing combination of AE 2.5% and Vit E (F4) would provide the best anti-acne activity amongst other formulae.

Aloe vera is a well-known medicinal plant used in many therapeutic purposes. Naturally it is composed of many useful compounds that have ability to use for treatment of many diseases. The active compounds reported in this plant are saponins, sugar, enzymes, vitamins, aloesin, aloeemodin, aloin, acemannan aloemannan, aloeride, methylchromones, flavonoids, naftoquinones, sterols, minerals, anthraquinones, amino acids, lignin and salicylic acid and other different compounds including fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins, enzymes, minerals, simple/complex sugars, organic acid and phenolic compounds. In this study aloe vera is used for antibacterial and antifulgal activity against different strains of bacteria and pathogenic fungal strains. Ethanol extract of Aloe vera leaves and roots is applied on these bacterial and fungal strains in different concentrations (15, 20, 25, 30µl). Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtitis, Bacillus megaterium, Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and some other bacterial strains are used for this study. Escherichia coli and Agrobacterium tumefacins shows zone of inhibition around 18mm which consider as good result. Bacillus subtitis and Bacillus megaterium also shows good result around 16mm. Proteus mirabilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa shows minimum zone of inhibition which is around 11mm. among all used fungal strains (fuserium oxysporum, Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger) fuserium oxysporum and Aspergillus niger shows excellent results around 19mm both against root extract and leaves extract.

An exploratory study based on laboratory experiment was carried out to determine the antibacterial effect of Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) extract of Aloe vera leaf gel (DAE) against standard strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in the Department of Pharmacology & Therapeutics in collaboration with the Department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. DMSO extract was used in five different concentrations (100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 μg/ml). Dose dependent inhibitory effect was seen against the test organisms using disc diffusion method. Zone of inhibition (ZOI) were 8 mm, 13 mm, 15 mm, 16 mm and 21 mm against S. aureus; 0 mm, 8 mm, 13 mm, 15 mm and 18 mm against P. aeruginosa; 8 mm, 11 mm, 13 mm, 16 mm and 20 mm against E. coli; 0 mm, 9 mm, 12 mm, 14 mm and 18 mm against K. pneumoniae at 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 μg/ml respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was assessed by broth dilution technique. The MICs of DAE for S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, E. coli and K. pneumoniae were 300 μg/ml, 400 μg/ml, 400 μg/ml and 450 μg/ml respectively. From the study it was observed that DMSO extract of Aloe vera leaf gel possesses antibacterial effect against the test pathogens. The findings highlight the need for further extensive study to detect and isolate the biologically active ingredients present in the Aloe vera leaves which are responsible for antibacterial effect. Hopefully, that would lead to the discovery of new and more potent antimicrobial agents originated from Aloe vera. Mediscope Vol. 7, No. 2: July 2020, Page 67-74

El presente estudio tuvo por finalidad evaluar la actividad antibacteriana y fungicida de los macerados acuosos y alcohólicos de las hojas de Aloe vera L., que contenían derivados antraquinónicos. Con dichos macerados se prepararon soluciones de CuSO4.5H2O 1,5%, FeCl3 1%, AgNO3 1%, y Bi(NO3)3 1,5%, que se guardaron en frascos de vidrio color ámbar, herméticamente cerrados por 12 meses, bajo refrigeración; un grupo similar se conservó a 25°C. Se determinó la actividad de estos preparados, usando el método excavación placa de la USP XXX frente a cepas de Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa y Aspergillus niger. Las soluciones acuosas de Aloe vera L. presentaron actividad antibacteriana en orden decreciente Cu > Ag > Fe, y las soluciones alcohólicas Ag > Cu > Fe. Solamente las soluciones acuosas de sulfato de cobre presentaron actividad fungicida. Los preparados conservados bajo refrigeración, presentaron mayor actividad antimicrobiana y fungicida que los preparados equivalentes conservados a 25°C.

This study was carried out to explore the effect of Aloe Vera leafgel in promoting wound healing and to investigate theantibacterial effect against some pathogenic bacteria in comparisonwith Nigella sativa oil. Standard dilutions of Aloe Vera leaf gel weremade from ten to one hundred percent and its antibacterial effecthad been examined in seeded agar method against Staphylococcusaureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa both were previously identifiedby laboratory and biochemical methods, Nigella Sativa oil which isknown to be one of the important medicinal plant was used forcomparison . Statistical analysis showed a significant difference(P<0.05) between AVG and Nigella Sativa oil.The effect of Aloe Vera leaf gel against Staph .aureus was morepotent than against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. There was aproportional relation between different concentrations of AVGwith the values of inhibition zones diameters of the bacteria.Results showed that Aloe Vera was more potent than Nigella sativaagainst both bacteria.The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) was sixtymg/ml and the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) waseighty mg/ml for Staph .aureus.In order to investigate the effect of Aloe Vera gel on woundhealing, twenty-four local male rabbits were used. They weredivided into four equal groups and each animal was wounded inboth sides of the back region by making a one by two centimetersquare standard longitudinal incision with surgical scalpel. Thefirst group was a control group (wounded without treatment); thisgroup was employed to observe the normal wound healing. Thesecond group was treated with crude Aloe Vera leaf gel twice dailyfor 10 days. While the third group was wounded and infected withthe pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus vaureus without treatment,in order to observe the natural body defense against pathogenicmicroorganisms. The last group was infected with the samebacteria but treated with crude Aloe Vera leaf gel to observe theantibacterial effect. The wounds in the left side in second andfourth group were left as self-control.
