Wound healing activity studies of Wrightia arborea Phytosome in rats

Plan: The study was aimed to evaluate the wound healing activity of 70% ethanolic extract (WAET) of the leaves of Wrightia arborea (Apocynaceae) and the phytosome (WAP) prepared out from WAET using incision and excision wound models on wistar albino rats. Methodology: Wound contraction and epithelization period were assessed in excision wound model whereas wound tensile strength was determined in the case of incision wound model. Outcome: The Wrightia arborea phytosome (WAP 4%) exhibited significant wound healing potential when compared to WAET and standard 0.2% Nitrofurazone Ointment.
