objective: martynia annua l. (m. annua), (martyniaccae) has been traditionally used in the treatment of epilepsy, sore throat and inflammatory disorders. the leaf paste is used topically on tuberculosis of the lymphatic glands and wounds of domestic animals. tephrosia purpurea (t. purpurea), (fabaceae) has been used traditionally as a remedy for asthma, gonorrhea, rheumatism and ulcers. this st...

in the present investigation, methanolic extract of mimusops elengi  leaves were evaluated for wound healing activity. entire wound healing process is complex series of events that begins at the moment of injury and can continue for months to years. methanolic extract of mimusops elengi leaves were examined for wound healing activity in the form of ointment by the excision, the incision and dea...

Objective: To evaluate wound healing activity of ethanolic extract of Jasminum grandiflorum Linn. (J. grandiflorum) flowers in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar albino rats were divided into six groups (n=6).Three groups – diabetic control, positive control (that received Glibenclamide) and treatment (that received J. grandiflorum Linn. Flower extract...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Drugs like famotidine, omeprazole and sucralfate which have been reported to promote the healing of gastric ulcers, may have the same effect on cutaneous wounds. Due to paucity of information in this regard, the present study was planned to investigate the effect of these drugs on resutured incision, excision and dead space wounds in Wistar rats. METHODS Resutured incis...

Leaf extract of guava (Psidium guajava Linn.) has been reported to promote wound healing in traditional medicine but there is paucity of information in literature regarding similar activity of fruit extract. Therefore, the present study was planned to investigate the influence of leaf and fruit extract of Psidium guajava Linn. on re-sutured incision, excision, and dead space wounds in male Wist...

The present study was performed to substantiate the traditional claim of the wound healing activity of stem bark of Albizzia lebbeck Linn. in rats. The effects of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of stem bark of A. lebbeck (5% and 10% w/v topically and 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg p.o.) on excision, incision and dead space wound model were examined. The extracts were administered orally for 10 days fo...

Aqueous extract of the roots of Radix paeoniae (Paeonaceae) was screened for wound healing by excision, incision and dead space wound models on Wistar rats. The parameters studied were breaking strength in case of incision wounds, epithelialisation and wound contraction in case of excision wound and granulation tissue dry weight, breaking strength and hydroxyproline content in case of dead spac...

Ethanolic extract of leaves of O. sanctum was investigated for normal wound healing and dexamethasone depressed healing using incision, excision and dead space wound models in albino rats. The extract of O. sanctum significantly increased the wound breaking strength in incision wound model. The extract treated wounds were found to epithelialize faster and the rate of wound contraction was signi...

To screen the wound healing activity of different extracts of Allium cepa L. in excision, incision and dead space wound models in albino rats. The tubers of Allium cepa L. (Family Liliaceae) were exhaustively defatted with petroleum ether (40-60C) and the marc was subjected to continuous extraction with solvent ether, chloroform, alcohol and chloroform water I.P. All the extracts were tested fo...
