Abstract

The methanolic extract of Ichnocarpus frutescens was evaluated for its wound healing potential by using incision and excision models. The effects of the test drug on the rat for wound healing were assessed by the rate of wound closure, period of epithelialization, tensile strength and histopathology of granulation tissue. The results signify the wound healing activity of Ichnocarpus frutescens.
