ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar el efecto del extracto etanólico de Tropaeolum majus "mastuerzo" sobre la micosis inducida por Trichophyton mentagrophytes (TM) en Rattus norvegicus (RN). Materiales y métodos: Experimental aleatorizado, incluyó 21 especímenes RN machos, a los cuales se les indujo una infección micótica mediante modelo de infección superficial en piel; posteriormente al desarrollo de esta, se dividieron aleatoriamente en tres grupos de 7 especímenes cada uno; siendo tratados con placebo (Grupo I), ungüento preparado con el extracto etanólico de Tropaeolum majus "mastuerzo" al 0,4% (grupo II) y Terbinafina al 1% (grupo III), durante 30 días consecutivos, respectivamente. Se realizó un examen clínico de signos y síntomas presentes en las micosis de piel, evaluados a través de una escala arbitraria cualitativa ordinal adaptada para este estudio, asimismo, de estudio micológico con KOH al 20% y por cultivo en Agar Dextrosa Sabouraud para confirmar la dermatofitosis antes y después del tratamiento. Resultados: El Grupo II presentó disminución significativa de los signos clínicos omparado con el Grupo I (p =0,001), mientras que al compararlo con el Grupo III se obtuvo una evolución clínica positiva para ambos grupos (p =0,05). Conclusión: El extracto etanólico de Tropaeolum majus "mastuerzo" posee un efecto antimicótico sobre la micosis inducidapor TM en RN (p <0,05), pudiendo ser una alternativa segura para tratamiento tópico de tiña


Objective: To determine the effect of the ethanol extract of Tropaeolum majus (cress) upon Trichophyton mentagrophites (TM) - induced tinea in Rattus norvegicus (RN). Materials and methods: This is an experimental randomized trial which included 21 male RN specimens, who were induced a superficial fungal infection; after the infection had developed, the animals were randomly divided in three 7-individual groups; Group I received placebo, Group II received an ointment prepared with a 0.4% ethanol extract of Tropaeolum majus (cress), and Group III received 1% terbinafine during 30 consecutive days, respectively. A clinical exam looking for signs and symptoms present in skin fungal infections was performed, using an arbitrary qualitative ordinal scale that was adapted for this trial. Also, laboratory exams were performed: direct examination of skin samples with 20% KOH, and dextrose-Sabouraud agar cultures in order to confirm the presence of superficial fungal infections before and after therapy. Results: Group II showed a significant reduction of clinical findings compared with Group I (p=0.001), while when compared with Group III, a positive clinical outcome was found in both groups (p=0.05). Conclusion: The ethanol extract of Tropaeolum majus (cress) has antifungal action upon TM-induced tinea in RN (p<0.05), and it may be considered as a safe option for the therapy of tinea
