Natural Hemp-Ginger Extract and Its Biological and Therapeutic Efficacy
MOLECULES(2022)
Abstract
The prevention and treatment of skin diseases remains a major challenge in medicine. The search for natural active ingredients that can be used to prevent the development of the disease and complement treatment is on the rise. Natural extracts of ginger and hemp offer a wide range of bioactive compounds with potential health benefits. This study evaluates the effectiveness of hemp and ginger extract as a supportive treatment for skin diseases. It reports a synergistic effect of hemp and ginger extract. The contents of cannabinoids and components of ginger are determined, with the highest being CBD (587.17 +/- 8.32 mu g/g) and 6-gingerol (60.07 +/- 0.40 mu g/g). The minimum inhibitory concentration for Staphylococcus aureus (156.5 mu g/mL), Escherichia coli (625.2 mu g/mL) and Candida albicans (78.3 mu g/mL) was also analyzed. Analysis of WM-266-4 cells revealed the greatest decrease in metabolic activity in cells exposed to the extract at a concentration of 1.00 mu g/mL. Regarding the expression of genes associated with cellular processes, melanoma aggressiveness, resistance and cell survival, a significant difference was found in the expression of ABCB5, CAV1 and S100A9 compared with the control (cells not exposed to the extract).
