Journal Article
Antimicrobial efficacy of Egyptian Eremina desertorum and Helix aspersa snail mucus with a novel approach to their anti-inflammatory and wound healing potencies
2021
Overview
Snail mucus is composed of bioactive compounds thought to have different biological properties for the treatment of some skin problems. Although
Helix aspersa
mucus is used in several cosmetic products, a detailed characterization of
Eremina desertorum
mucus composition and its biological activities is still missing. Mucus extracts (MEs) from
H. aspersa and E. desertorum
were prepared and tested for their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities with their potencies in wound healing. Also, chemical characterization was performed by GC–MS analysis. Results showed that ME of
E. desertorum
gave higher inhibitory activity against resistant strains related to burn wound infections compared to ME of
H. aspersa
. Additionally, it revealed a significant anti-inflammatory activity. Moreover, we found that ME of
E. desertorum
lacked cytotoxicity and was able to significantly induce cell proliferation and migration through up-regulation of TGF-β1 and VEGF gene expression. Our results suggested that MEs of
E. desertorum
have higher biological effects than
H. aspersa,
which are attributable to antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory activities, cell proliferation and pave the way for further investigating its potential effect as a human therapeutic agent.
