FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF HERBAL GEL FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF CYAMPOSIS TETRAGONOLOBA (L.) TAUB. FOR WOUND HEALING
Sumitra Singh* and Bhagwati Devi Rohilla
ABSTRACT The hydrogels prepared from ethanol extracts of leaves and fruits of Cyamposis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub. were investigated for their healing effect on excision and incision wound surface on swiss albino mice. Different formulations were topically applied on the wound surface as a single dose. Percentage of wound contraction, period of complete epithilization of excision and tensile strength of incision wound and histological studies of granulation tissue were used to evaluate effect of wound healing. The activity was compared with that of the control and metrogel (1% w/w) as standard drug. Both the formulation showed a significantly higher rate of contraction and shorten epithilization period in both the test models. In excision model healing was 99% in gel containing 5% w/w fruit ethanol extract and 90% in gel containing 5% w/w leaf ethanol extract (p<0.001) on 12th day compared to 80% and 60% of healing with standard metrogel (1% w/w) and control, respectively. In incision wound model there was significantly increase in tensile strength (p<0.001). The result revealed that gel formulation has got potential wound healing activity.
