| Abstract: | Wound healing
potential of different extracts of henna leaves i.e. Lawsonia inermis
Linn. was evaluated on the rat excision and incision wound models. Lawsone
isolated from the leaves was also screened for same pharmacological activity. It
was observed that the oral administration as well as topical application of
ethanol extract of henna leaves and lawsone exhibited significant healing
response in both the wound models. Further, it was found that the topical
application of ethanol extract as well as isolated lawsone was more effective
than the same given by the oral route. Thus, topical application of ethanol
extract can be successfully formulated for the wound healing
activity. |
