Antibacterial mechanism of Artemisia annua extracts
A study shows that the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects of Artemisia annua extract include flavonoids, alkaloids and terpenoids, of which flavonoids ((3R,5αS,6R,8αS,9R,12S,12αR)-octahydro-3,6,9-trimethyl-3,12-bridged oxo-12H-~mandelic acid (4,3-j)-octahydro-3,6,9-trimethyl-3,12-bridged oxo-12H-~mandelic acid (4,3-j)) are the most effective in the treatment of skin dryness. 3-j)-1,2-benzodioxepin-10(3H)-one) was able to cause pathogenic bacterial cell breakage, increased cell membrane permeability, and subsequent mass death.
"Artemisia annua" extract has a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect on a variety of Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and common fungi with varying degrees of inhibition, and can be used to develop acne and other cosmetic products, artemisinin derivatives of artesunate for eczema and photosensitive dermatitis also has a better therapeutic effect.

In addition, Artemisia annua extract contains a variety of flavonoids and polyphenols that act as antioxidants and can act as natural preservatives. Research also supports the notion that Artemisia annua extracts have antioxidant properties. It was also found that the main components of Artemisia annua extract with antioxidant activity were positively correlated with the content of total phenolic acid and total flavonoids, which comprehensively evaluated the antioxidant activity of Artemisia annua extract, and the polysaccharide fractions and the aqueous extract had strong ferrous ion chelating ability, which also provided the basis for the antioxidant activity of Artemisia annua extract. At the same time, the polysaccharide fraction and the aqueous extract had strong ferrous chelating ability, which also contributed to the antioxidant activity of Artemisia annua extract.
"In addition to the anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant activities of Artemisia annua extracts, the feasibility of Artemisia annua extracts in the field of sunscreen was investigated, and it was found that the aqueous and ethyl acetate phases of Artemisia annua extracts possessed a high level of antioxidant activity. It was found that the aqueous extract of Artemisia annua and the ethyl acetate phase of Artemisia annua have high ultraviolet absorbing substances, which lays the foundation for the development of sunscreen products containing Artemisia annua extract.
It was found that cosmetics containing Artemisia annua extract can significantly repair damaged skin barrier function, effectively reduce inflammation symptoms, reduce the degree of skin redness and swelling, thus improving the sensitive skin condition.
In conclusion, the use of Artemisia annua extracts in cosmetics has strong theoretical support for its use in antibacterial, anti-acne and skin repair.
