Pharmacology
Aloe vera is a succulent plant with thick, fleshy, serrated, lanceolate-shaped leaves of green-greyish color. Aloe vera inner gel is obtained from the lower leaves of the plant by slicing the leaf open. The gel is clear, odorless and tasteless and is free of leaf skin or yellow parts. More than 75 active ingredients from inner gel of aloe vera have been identified including vitamins, minerals, enzymes, sugars, anthraquinones or phenolic compounds, lignin, saponins, sterols, amino acids and salicylic acid.
Different mechanisms have been proposed for the wound-healing effects of aloe vera gel, which include keeping the wound moist, increasing epithelial cell migration, rapid maturation of collagen and reduction in inflammation.
Mucopolysaccharides of aloe vera helps in binding moisture into the skin. It has been identified that the aloe vera gel containing items improves skin hydration by means of humectant mechanism. Aloe vera gel stimulates fibroblast which produces the collagen and elastin fibers making the skin more elastic and less wrinkled.
It inhibits the cyclooxygenase pathway and reduces prostaglandin E2. Recently, the novel anti-inflammatory compound called C-glycosyl chromone was isolated from gel extracts.
Immunomodulating effects occur via activation of macrophage cells to generate nitric oxide, secrete cytokines and present cell surface markers.
Glutathione peroxides activity, superoxide dismutase enzymes and a phenolic antioxidant were found to be present in aloe vera gel, which may be responsible for these antioxidant effects.
