WOUND HEALING ACTIVITY OF ETHANOLIC EXTRACT OF ROOT BARK OF ACHYRENTHES ASPERA LINN
AbstractAchyranthes aspera Linn (Amaranthaceae), commonly known as apamarga, is a commonly available plant in India. This plant has been used in treating cuts by people living in various states in India. The Ethanolic extract of root bark of Achyranthes aspera was prepared, and its wound healing activity was evaluated. The ethanolic extract of the root bark of Achyranthes aspera (10 and 30% w/w applied locally in excised wounds) produced a dose-dependent acceleration in wound contraction and increased betadine content and tensile strength of wounds in rats. The results demonstrate wound healing activity of Ethanolic extract of the root bark of Achyranthes aspera.
