Definitions
- Botanical ingredients have long been used topically for a wide range of cosmetic and therapeutic applications.
- arnica montana an herb native to the Siberian mountains and Central Europe, has been used for the treatment of pain, stiffness, and swelling associated with trauma, contusions, sprains, myocarditis, cardiac insufficiency, arteriosclerosis, angina pectoris, postoperative clinical conditions, and for symptomatic relief in osteoarthritis.
- the sesquiterpene lactones of the arnica montana act to reduce inflammation by inhibiting nuclear factor-KB, which controls the transcription of many genes, including cytokines such as IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-a).
- cytokines such as IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-a).
- bromelain is another ingredient that has been used to treat inflammatory ailments, such as swelling associated with trauma and contusions.
- Topical arnica compositions and topical bromelain compositions e.g., such as creams and ointments
- NCIH National Center for Complementary and Integrative Medicine
- dragon’s blood Another ingredient that has been used to improve wound healing and treat inflammatory ailments is dragon’s blood.
- the topical application of dragon’s blood has been associated with a significant improvement of wound healing which may be due to a shortening of the inflammation process because of the presence of phenolic compounds such as proanthocyanidins and catechin.
- a dragon’s blood composition comprising an emulsion with a 15% ethanolic extract of C. lechleri in an emulsion carrier is known; however, the amount of C. lechleri on an “actives” basis present in the composition is unknown.
- Wound healing is a complex process.
- epithelia execute a coordinated program that closes the wound, combats infection, reestablishes barrier function, and restores tissue architecture.
- MMPs Matrix metalloproteinases
- Inflammation is a complex process that comprises detection and response to insult and repair of tissues (e.g., leukocyte recruitment).
- the activity of many of the effector proteins that regulate and coordinate the inflammatory response is, in turn, controlled by proteinases, including MMPs.
- MMPs The expression of MMPs is upregulated at transcriptional level by numerous inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor-u. (TNF-a), and by growth factors, including epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor- (TGF- ). Once activated, the activity of MMPs is regulated by general and specific inhibitors, including the family of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1, -2, -3, and -4).
- TNF-a tumor necrosis factor-u.
- EGF- epidermal growth factor
- TGF- transforming growth factor-
- MMPs regulate recruitment and influx of inflammatory cells to the site of inflammation by acting on a variety of protein substrates, including extracellular matrix proteins (e.g., collagen and elastin), adhesion proteins, cytokines, and chemokines.
- extracellular matrix proteins e.g., collagen and elastin
- adhesion proteins e.g., IL-12, IL-12, and IL-12.
- cytokines cytokines
- chemokines chemokines
- MMPs The action of MMPs in inflammation is both direct and indirect. Many chemokines are directly cleaved by MMPs, thereby resulting in enhancement, inactivation or antagonism of chemokine activities. Other chemokines are regulated by MMP cleavage of substrates that bind, retain and concentrate the chemotactic molecules. By establishing chemokine gradients, MMPs help coordinate an influx of immune effector cells, including neutrophils, monocytes and eosinophils.
- Glycosaminoglycans are unbranched polysaccharides containing a repeating disaccharide unit - specifically, two modified sugars, N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) or N- acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), and an uronic acid such as glucuronate or iduronate.
- GAGs are covalently linked to proteins, forming proteoglycans.
- Two particularly important GAGs are hyaluronic acid and dermatan sulfate.
- Hyaluronic acid also known as hyaluronan, is a polysaccharide comprised of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine residues. Unlike other GAGs, hyaluronan does not contain sulfate and is not found covalently attached to proteins (i.e., as a proteoglycan).
- Chronological and environmental skin aging are associated with increased levels of MMPs and other enzymes that degrade not only extracellular matrix proteins (collagen and elastin) but also GAGs.
- Clinically aging skin is less supple, less elastic, thinner, and more prone to wrinkling.
- IL-1 interleukin 1
- IL-6 interleukin 6
- IL-8 chemokines
- NF-KB pro-inflammatory transcription factors
- Oxygen radical absorbance capacity is a method of measuring antioxidant capacity of a sample.
