SCREENING OF ALGAE FOR ITS ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIACNE POTENTIAL

Ratnaparkhe Shraddha, Nabar Bela

Abstract


Acne is chronic, inflammatory skin condition which is generally observed on face, shoulders, back, neck, chest, and upper arms. They appear in the form of whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, cysts, and nodules. People are more cautious about acnes as sometimes they develop skin scars. Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus spp. is the main causative agent for the acne formation.  There are many anti acne agents available in market. Salicylic acid, Triclosan and benzyl peroxide are the anti acne drugs are incorporated in to the soaps, cream and gel for treatment purpose. Naturally derived anti acne agent are the potential agents for treatment without side effects. Algae produce various metabolites of therapeutic potential. The objective of present study is to assess anti acne potential of various algae which were isolated from different ecological niche. The antioxidant activity was also determined for screening purpose.

Keywords


Algae, Anti acne agent, Propionibacterium acnes
