Anti-inflammatory Activity of the Gel Containing a Combination of Neem Leaf Extract and Shallot Extract
Abstract
Neem leaves (Azadirahcta indica A. Juss) and shallots (Allium cepa L) contain flavonoids that are effective as an antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory. The aim of this study was to determine the effective concentration and the duration of treatment of the anti-inflammatory activity of the gel containing a combination of neem leaf extract and shallot extract. These substances have a similar effect, and it is believed that these combinations may effective as an anti-inflammatory at small doses to reduce the side effects. The animals were randomly divided into 6 groups with 5 rats per group. The rats were wound-induced by incising its back (length 1.5 cm, depth 0.7 mm) and were observed for 8 days. Parameters measured were wound’s closure, color, and healing process. Statistical analysis showed that the most effective concentration as an anti-inflammatory was formula 1 (neem leaf extract 3.125%: shallots extract 4%) with the fastest healing time was 5 days. Thus, this formula is one of the effective treatment options for healing wounds.
