The term wound burn refers to a type of damage caused by heat, radiation, power, friction, or chemical contact. The World Health Organization (WHO) (2018) states that burns are a major public health issue because they cause and generate approximately 180,000 deaths each year. Elloso Cruz (2017) reported that there were 4 burn centres in the Philippines. These centers treat about 300-400 cases of burns each year. It is important to find an effective alternative treatment that can be easily accessed. It was found in Obiama et al. (2017) that there were several medicinal plants available to treat burn wounds. Bryophyllum pinatinum, also called Katakataka, is a herb that comes from the Crassulcea plant family. It’s used for treating or healing urinary stone, hypertension or other ailments. Bryophyllum Pinnatum, or Katakataka in the Philippines, is a plant that can be used for many purposes. The leaves are particularly useful. The leaves of this plant contain antibacterial, antiseptic and wound-healing properties. By pounding fresh materials, it can treat sprains or wounds as well as infections, carbuncles, and erysipelas.
Different extracts from Bryophyllum pnnatum, or Katakataka, are used for treating different ailments including wound burn. Most researchers have used another compound to perform the same experiment. Anti-inflammatory effects Bryophyllum pinningatum Lam. Oken-ethanol extracts in acute, chronic and cutaneous inflammation were investigated. The study didn’t mention or discuss anything about the wound healing process. They did not also follow their procedure, which was to use only the Bryophyllum plant extracts (Katakataka), but instead used other components.
The study’s objective is to determine the effectiveness of Bryophyllum pinenatum, also known as Katakataka, in treating burn wounds. The study is to determine the antioxidant properties in different extracts from Bryophyllum Pinnatum(Katakataka). It also seeks to prove Bryophyllum pnnatum’s (Katakataka’s) antioxidant and wound-healing capabilities. The future researchers will benefit from this study by gaining more knowledge on the antibacterial properties of Bryophyllum Pinnatum. Researchers will also modify previous studies that concern the disease and the plant used. The research will provide new ideas and concepts on how to manipulate Bryophyllum pinatium (Katakataka), and thus help to lessen or cure the suffering of those who suffer from certain ailments, diseases and conditions. The results of this research are most important for people who suffer from wound burns. Bryophyllum Pinnatum (Katakataka), as a result, can be used to treat them. The researchers concentrated on Bryophyllum pnnatum’s (Katakataka’s) antioxidant and wound-healing properties. The study also looks at the effectiveness of Bryophyllum pinatium (Katakataka), a plant extract, in healing wound burns. Aside from the financial and time constraints, the study will also only focus on certain areas like antioxidants or wound healing properties. The study’s main focus would be on the potential of the plant to heal wounds.
Review of related literatureKatakatakaPlantThe utilization of medicinal plants is growing worldwide because of the increased toxicity of synthetic and engineered drugs. Bryophyllum Pinnatum, also known as Kalanchoe Pinnata or Bryophyllum crassulaceae, which is popularly called Katakataka in the Philippines, is a miracle herb that is widely used as a natural remedy around the globe (Lunkad Angrawal & Kothawade 2016). It has been described as a widely disseminated perennial herbal remedy (Aprioku und Igbe 2017). Stuart (2017) described it as an erect herb with a smooth texture that grows in tropical regions. In India, Africa and Madagascar, for example, it is used as a remedy to treat illnesses. Bryophyllum Pinnatum is also known as Katakataka, a plant that has elliptic leaves up to 10cm in length with scalloped and succulent margins. Jason (2017) further described Bryophyllumpinnatum(Katakataka) as a plant with elliptic leaflets that grow up to 10cm long, and has easy care due to its lack of daily watering. Balinado and Chan’s (2017) documentation of ethnomedicinal practice and knowledge is used to demonstrate the diversity and importance of traditional medical uses. The study contains 76 plants of Lamiaceae, mostly cultured shrubs and herbs whose leaves are collected to obtain useful extracts. Bryophyllum pinatifolium (Katakataka) is said to treat twelve types of diseases that follow the International Classification of Diseases. Researchers used quantitative analysis to determine the best species for different ailments. Bryophyllum Pinnatum, or the Katakataka Plant, was one of the top choices.
The study showed that the variety of plants species has a great impact on the practices and knowledge of citizens. The Bryophyllumpinnatum plant (Katakataka), for example, is a key player in the health care system of the region despite the rapid modernization. The study claimed that it was possible to analyze medicinal plants in order to determine their safety and effectiveness for future scientific applications and pharmaceuticals. Bryophyllum.. pinnatum is a plant that has been known to heal wounds for centuries. The research conducted by Lunkad Angrawal Kothawade (2016) reveals this. Bryophyllum Pinnatum (Katakataka), which is used in herbal medicine, has been called The Miracle Leaf or The Life Plant by other countries. Bryophyllumpinnatum(Katakataka), a type of plant, can treat diarrhea, headaches and even asthma. By applying its extract, it has also been shown to treat bruises, burns, and wounds (Jason,2017). Aprioku, Igbe, and others (2017) also claimed that Bryophyllum can heal wounds and treat conditions like rheumatism or heartburn. It could also be used to treat microbial infections, skin ulcers and rheumatism. Bryophyllum pninnatum, also known as Katakataka, is a plant that has many benefits, including antibacterial and antiseptic properties.
Antimicrobial propertiesAccording to Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, an antimicrobial specialist is one who inhibits the growth of microorganisms. Chemical substances or physical operators can act as microbial specialists. These operators are involved in the development and proliferation of harmful living organisms, such as bacteria and fungi. They also deal with infections, parasites and other diseases. Microorganisms or organisms are living forms that can’t be seen with the naked eye but can be observed under a microscope. Microbiology deals with the study of organisms. Microorganisms includes microscopic organisms, such as bacteria or fungi. Antibacterials interfere with microbes’ development and reproduction. These agents fight against bacteria to eliminate or counter microorganisms. Every anti-microbial drug and synthetic warm compounds, such as chloride, have antibacterial qualities. Antimicrobial medications are used to treat microbes. The microorganisms that they are most effective against can be used to identify antimicrobial drugs. Models of antifungals and antiprotozoal drugs, as well as antiviral medication.
Medicine Net also states that. (n. d. ). Antimicrobials are substances such as drugs that kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. Microbes are microorganisms such as Staphylococcus. This bacteria causes staphinfections and infections. Tetracycline is an anti-infection that treats urinary tract disease. Tamiflu or Oseltamivir are antivirals that treat influenza. Terbinafine and Lamisil are antifungals that cure athlete’s feet. Anti-infections or antibiotics are medications that aim to stop or slow the growth of bacteria and other organisms. Antibiotics can be used to fight bacterial infections, but they cannot combat contaminations. Antibacterial substances are those that inhibit or slow the growth of microorganisms on surfaces such as human skin and environmental surfaces. These substances are used to guide legitimate cleanliness. Obiama (2017) states that as the demand of antimicrobial drugs increases, the use of medicinal plants has become more popular. Most medicinal plants are inexpensive and easily available. Some plants, such as Morringa oliefera and Jatropha guajava have antimicrobial properties.
Bryophyllumpinnatum(Katakatakaplant)is known to be antibacterial and can therefore be used as an alternative medicine for treating a variety of diseases. Bryophyllum pinatifolium (Katakataka Plant) was tested using liquids like methanol, hot water, and ethanol. The liquids used were Staphylococcus Aureus, Escherichia Coi and Pseudomonas aneruginosa. The experiment showed that the mixture of Bryophyllum spp. (Katakataka) and methanol had the best antimicrobial properties. In the experiment, the ethanol was the next to be tested and hot water did not show any antimicrobial properties. The results showed that extracts from Bryophyllum Pinnatum and Aspilia Africana (Katakataka Plant) alone did not have antibacterial properties.
According to Ladan et al. (2016), Bryophyllum pinatifolium (Katakataka), a plant that is widely dispersed and has antimicrobial effects, was considered a crassulescent and a herb. Some factors have been suggested to be responsible for the inconsistent nature of its properties and activities.
