Abstract:

Inflammation in acne vulgaris is initiated by overgrowth of Propionibacterium acnes. These bacteria will produce chemotactic factors to stimulate the secretion of IL-6 and IL-8 by keratinocytes. The production of these cytokines involves the activation of toll-like receptor 2. The production of these proinflammatory cytokines originates from the activation of the NF- pathway. Until now, standard therapy for acne vulgaris caused skin irritation and antibiotics trigger resistance. Thus, other therapeutic approaches are needed, such as materials derived from plants. Banana peel as waste has not been widely used, especially as an anti-inflammatory agent for acne vulgaris. This study aims to investigate the molecular docking bioinformatics between the active compound of kepok banana peel on the NF-??ß pathway.
