Watercress oil loaded with gel: evaluation of hemolysis inhibition, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and healing properties.

ABSTRACT: Plant-derived compounds are renowned for their remarkable pharmacological properties, holding immense promise for therapeutic interventions in human health. In this study, we aimed to assess the antimicrobial, anti-hemolytic, antioxidant, and wound healing attributes of watercress oil incorporated into Vaseline gel (OLG) compared to watercress oil alone. OLG was formulated through a meticulous process involving the addition of Vaseline gel to the oil under agitation conditions. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis of watercress oil unveiled a rich array of phenolic compounds, including gallic acid (10.18 μg/mL), daidzein (3.46 μg/mL), and hesperetin (3.28 μg/mL). The inhibitory zones caused by watercress oil alone against a spectrum of pathogens, including Staphylococcus aure
