Actividad cicatrizante de geranio rojo (Pelargoniumzonale) mediante ensayos In Vitro de inhibición de hialuronidasa y veneno de cobra (Naja naja).

Abstract

The healing effect of red geranium (Pelargonium zonale) is determined by inhibition of hyaluronidasein vitro and cobra venom (Najanaja), these tests were performed at the Laboratory of Phytopharmacy and Instrumental Analysis of the Science Faculty of the Higher School Polytechnic of Chimborazo. In which different concentrations of flavonic part of the plant (leaves and flowers) were used, such as: 0.005 g/mL – 0.01 g/mL and 0.02 g/mL. White and negative control which will indicate the main activity of the trials is used. The extracts obtained are performed by the ebb and macerated from 50 grams of dried leaves and flowers of the plant under study. The results obtained in inhibiting hyaluronidase were satisfactory treatments with Pelargonium zonale in 80.3% inhibition at doses of 0.02 g/mL of the extracts of leaves and flowers. In the results in the inhibition of cobra venom treatments were very effective way of checking the effect of the plant to heal, it is recommended to continue studies of the plant using more flavonic concentrations of Pelargonium zonale, for at least 6 concentrations higher than those used in this study.
