The Wound Healing and Antibacterial Activity of Five Ethnomedical Calophyllum inophyllum Oils: An Alternative Therapeutic Strategy to Treat Infected Wounds
Get PDFCalophyllum inophyllum L. (Calophyllaceae) is an evergreen tree ethno-medically used
along the seashores and islands of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, especially in Polynesia.
Oil extracted from the seeds is traditionally used topically to treat a wide range of skin injuries
from burn, scar and infected wounds to skin diseases such as dermatosis, urticaria and
eczema. However, very few scientific studies reported and quantified the therapeutic properties
of Calophyllum inophyllum oil (CIO). In this work, five CIO from Indonesia (CIO1),
Tahiti (CIO2, 3), Fiji islands (CIO4) and New Caledonia (CIO5) were studied and their cytotoxic,
wound healing, and antibacterial properties were presented in order to provide a scientific
support to their traditional use and verify their safety
