Abstract
|
|
|
|
The wound healing potential of the methanol extract of Hypericum mysorense Wight and Arn. Leaves (Family: Hypericaceae) was evaluated on different experimental models of wounds in rats. The methanol extract of leaves of Hypericum mysorense (HMM), in the form of ointment in two different concentrations (5% and 10% w/w ointment of aerial part extract in simple ointment base) was evaluated for wound healing potential in excision wound model and incision wound model in rats. Both the concentrations of the methanol extract ointment showed significant responses in both the wound types tested when compared with the control group. The effect produced by the extract ointment, in terms of wound contracting ability, wound closure time, regeneration of tissues at wound site, tensile strength of the wound and histopathological characteristics were comparable to those of a standard drug Nitrofurazone ointment.
