This wound adhesive is used in the fields of pharmacy, medicine, cellular and molecular biology, and pharmacogenesis for the treatment of fingers such as paronychia. Paronychia are the most common cause of finger infections caused by opportunistic microorganisms. On the other hand, depending on the form and nature of the disease, one of the primary issues is to keep the disease sterile. In addition, there is no perfect treatment for this disease or they are very expensive and time-consuming. If this condition spreads, it may lead to catastrophic complications, including the amputation of a finger. Because of the presence of Verbascum plant extract, as well as cobalt, ascorbic acid, salicylic acid, and other substances, this composition not only heals the wound quickly and completely, but it also restores the lower layers of the skin and nails. On the other hand, because it is made in the form of a wound adhesive, it can keep the infected area sterile and prevent further contamination of the wound. Other benefits of this technology are its ease of manufacture and inexpensive cost.
Finger infections include a wide range of diseases, one of which is paronychia. Inflammation, chronic and continuous pain, progression of the disease to the underlying tissues and finally to the bone are serious threats of these diseases. On the other hand, the available drugs do not have a definitive and quick treatment for this disease. Another problem in treatment, repairing and healing such wounds is not keeping the wound environment sterile. Because these infections are mostly caused by opportunistic bacteria, keeping the environment sterile is one of the most important factors in the treatment of this disease. The main problem of paronychia is that this disease develops slowly and continuously, especially in people who are more exposed to water and tissues near the nail for any reason, and this problem is because the part of the cuticle barrier The tissue is destroyed. In order to solve this problem, the wound adhesive with plant extract Verbascum Thapsus can be used due to its antimicrobial properties and on a wide range of bacteria, including the bacteria responsible for paronychia. In addition, due to the presence of compounds such as cobalt and ascorbic acid in this adhesive, it causes complete healing of the wound, and due to the presence of salicylic acid, it increases the penetration power and cleans the skin surface, which generally causes healing in a short period of time, less than 5 days. On the other hand, due to the type of design of the product in the form of a wound patch, the environment around the wound is covered and any factors that increase the disease are prevented.
Solution of problem
Paronychia is an important disease in the soft tissue around the nail. This is a common factor that everyone will face at some point in their life. The edge of the nail cuticle and the point where the nail attaches to the skin are common sites of paronychia. In this case, the skin around the nail becomes swollen, inflamed and painful, and sometimes abscesses with pus are seen. The most common causes of paronychia can be bacteria, fungi, and even viruses. All these factors can be present at the corner of the nail. This disease can have different symptoms, so that the disease caused by one agent progresses slowly and lasts a long time, while the disease of another agent progresses quickly and recurs within two to three days. If paronychia is treated, it will disappear and leave no traces on the nail. But if the disease is ignored it gets worse and a part of the patient is lost. Paronychia can involve more than one finger and can occur at any age. Band-aids containing the above ingredients are made to treat this disease and because of its naturalness, there is no danger to humans. This compound can be made and used in different forms, including wound dressings, ointments, and other medicinal forms. On the other hand, it can be placed in hydrogel pads, adhesive tapes, or any other type of dressing available. The use of this combination is also useful for repairing the underlying tissues of the skin and nails, which is one of the most important goals in this matter.
Saponin, mucilage, flavonoids, iridoids, phenylethanoid glycoside, monoterpene glucoside, steroid, spermine alkaloid, phenolic acid, fatty acid, tannin, carotene, neolignane glycosides, and other substances are found in the Verbascum plant. The presence of saponin and mucilage in the Verbascum plant contributes to its soothing and softening properties. The presence of phenolic chemicals in it also contributes to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial capabilities.
Methods and materials:
Plant extraction:
First, Verbascum Thapsus plant was extracted by hydroalcohol method. In this work, depending on the type of final processing, both the plant extract and the paste obtained from the plant itself can be used. If plant extract is used, it can be used on industrial hydrogels or animal hydrogels or any type of dressings.
Synthesis of hydrogels:
Gelatin hydrogel is manufactured at a concentration of 0.1% by weight to make industrial hydrogel. The gelatin powder is transported to a weighing scale and subjected to UV rays twice under the hood, then dissolved in distilled water for 30 minutes, according to the final volume. Transverse connections between gelatin strands are formed using an enzymatic technique. To do this, 41 microliters of 0.1% transglutaminase enzyme are added to the container per 1 ml of gelatin solution. Following mixing, the contents of the container are placed in an incubator for 64 hours to create the cross links of the gelatin powder chains.
For this, animal fat can be used instead of gelatin and animal-based hydrogel can be prepared. In this situation, after melting the animal fat and decreasing its temperature, which does not disrupt the structure of the elements in the composition, the ingredients are mixed with it, and it is then converted into a hydrogel using the standard procedures by adding enzymes, and it is loaded on the adhesive.
Composition:
The offered compositions are per size of 2 x 7 cm and thickness of one millimeter. As a result, any change in the desired adhesive's size must be added or decreased by the same proportion as the number of components.
The main components of this composition are 2% Verbascum Thapsus plant extract and 20% when used in the form of herbal paste, cobalt 0.01%, and ascorbic acid 0.05%. Calcium alginate, sodium carboxymethylcellulase (to alter rheology), and other common additions may be employed in varying percentages as basic components.
In addition, wound adhesives based on silica gel may be created.
In order to confirm the results, various tests were performed, including Antibiotic sensitivity testing. Then MIC&MBC test was done. In addition, the human test was also done with the consent of the person and the necessary permits.
In 96-well microtiter plates, the MIC&MBC (broth microdilution) test was carried out. To begin, 100 microliters of culture medium were added to all wells 2-12. Then, 100 microliters of plant extract were added to the first well, followed by 100 microliters of plant extract poured from the second well to the eleventh well of the microtiter plate. Finally, 100 microliters were taken from the eleventh well and discarded. The wells containing different dilutions of plant extract were then treated with 10 microliters of microbial suspension. Well number eleven containing culture medium and extract was considered as negative control and well number twelve containing culture medium and bacteria was considered as positive control.

Comparison of the mean and standard deviation shows that there is a significant difference between the methanolic extract of Verbascum plant, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli on the diameter of the halo of non-growth in the disc method (p=0.0003). According to the obtained results, the extract of Verbascum plant showed a good antibacterial effect, especially for staph aureus. Staphylococcus aureus is considered to be one of the most important bacteria in the pathogenesis of paronychia and is therefore very important. They were chosen because of the difference in the cell wall of Gram-positive and negative bacteria and the hard permeability of the wall of Gram-negative bacteria to the external compounds of these bacteria. On the other hand, they were chosen because Staphylococcus aureus is one of the main causes of paronychia.
