Abstract:
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the wound healing property of medicinal plant Flacourtia jangomas on incision and dead space wound model. A total of 96 numbers of Wistar albino rats weighing 120-150 gm were divided into eight groups containing six animals per group for each incision and dead space wound model. Hydro-ethanolic (H/E) and chloroform (C/H) extracts were prepared from the bark of the plant Flacourtia jangomas. Plant extracts were administered topically at 1%, 2.5% and 5%. Observations were compared with the control group and povidone iodine (5%) ointment treated group. Results of the present study revealed that wet weight, dry weight, hydroxyprolein and protein content of granulation tissue significantly increases with the above-mentioned plant extract treatment in a dose-dependent manner.
