“…Fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium (L.) Holub) (Onagraceae) is a well-known medicinal plant that grows naturally in many locations [27][28][29]. Recently, more and more attention has been paid to the use of this plant as a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of various skin diseases and also as an active ingredient in cosmetics.…”

“…Recently, more and more attention has been paid to the use of this plant as a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of various skin diseases and also as an active ingredient in cosmetics. It is due among other to its anti-inflammatory [30,31], antibacterial [30,32], anticancer, and analgesic [29,33], antioxidant properties [33][34][35]. Its pharmacological activity is related, among others, to the content of several bioactive compounds such as phenolic acids (PhA), including benzoic acid derivatives, e.g., GA, 3,4-DHB, 4-HB, 3-HB, and cinnamic acid derivatives, e.g., CA [30,36,37].…”

Bacterial cellulose membranes (BCs) are becoming useful as a drug delivery system to the skin. However, there are very few reports on their application of plant substances to the skin. Komagataeibacter xylinus was used for the production of bacterial cellulose (BC). The BC containing 5% and 10% ethanolic extract of Epilobium angustifolium (FEE) (BC-5%FEE and BC-10%FEE, respectively) were prepared. Their mechanical, structural, and antioxidant properties, as well as phenolic acid content, were evaluated. The bioavailability of BC-FESs using mouse L929 fibroblasts as model cells was tested. Moreover, In Vitro penetration through the pigskin of the selected phenolic acids contained in FEE and their accumulation in the skin after topical application of BC-FEEs was examined. The BC-FEEs were characterized by antioxidant activity. The BC-5% FEE showed relatively low toxicity to healthy mouse fibroblasts. Gallic acid (GA), chlorogenic acid (ChA), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (3,4-DHB), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HB), 3-hydroxybenzoic acid (3-HB), and caffeic acid (CA) found in FEE were also identified in the membranes. After topical application of the membranes to the pigskin penetration of some phenolic acid and other antioxidants through the skin as well as their accumulation in the skin was observed. The bacterial cellulose membrane loaded by plant extract may be an interesting solution for topical antioxidant delivery to the skin.

ÖzetDaha çok Kafkasya ve Avrupa'da yayılış gösteren Epilobium alpestre, mevcut kayıtlara göre Türkiye'nin kuzeydoğusundan bilinen tek popülasyonla temsil edilmektedir. Bu çalışma ile taksonun Türkiye'deki dağılımı, ayrıntılı morfolojik özellikleri ile polen ve tohum mikromorfolojik özellikleri verilerek türün sistematiğine katkı sağlanması amaçlanmıştır. E. alpestre, E. montanum taksonu ile yakın benzerlik göstermekle birlikte vertisilat yaprakları, parçalanmamış sitigması ve büyük tohumları (1,5−2 mm) ile kolaylıkla ayırt edilmektedir. E. alpestre aynı zamanda çubuklu polen süslemesi ve tanecikli-buruşuk tohum yüzeyi özellikleri ile karakterize edilmektedir. Bu çalışma ile E. alpestre'nin Türkiye'de bilinen doğrulanmış tek popülasyon ile temsil edildiği tespit edilmiş ve ayrıntılı morfolojik ve mikromorfolojik özellikleri belirlenerek genişletilmiş betimi yeniden oluşturulmuştur.
