Wound healing and analgesic effects of Brocchia cinerea essential oil in experimental animals

This study aimed to identify the main components of essential oil extracted from Brocchia cinerea (Delile) Vis. via hydrodistillation and investigate its in vivo wound healing analgesic properties. Thujone, santolina triene, camphor, 1,8-cineole were among compounds detected. Wounds induced mice treated with oil, which resulted accelerated repair through topical application (88.1±1.1%). The also evaluated activity by administering intraperitoneal injections acetic acid mice. results showed that B. at a dose 400 mg/kg strongly inhibited pain, pain inhibition percentage 95.5%. These findings indicate has potential as source bioactive may have synergistic effects. Based on these results, use for therapeutic purposes preventing promoting is supported. highlight paving way future research development clinically valuable products.
