OBJECTIVE

In this study, the antioxidant properties of plant were evaluated. This study reported for the first time the wound healing activity of the methanol extract of fruits. This study aimed to assess and determine the possible pharmacological activities of and evaluate its potential to act as a wound care plant.

METHODS

The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of were investigated using excisional and wound healing mouse models. A total of 32 Balb-c mice were used, which were equally, divided into four groups: saline control group, control group, group, and extract group. Treatment applications were performed topically once per day. Wound area narrowing, wound healing percentage, and epithelialization time were analyzed.

RESULTS

application supported the healing process in and wound models. contributed to the healing process by promoting granulation tissue formation, epidermal regeneration, and angiogenesis.

CONCLUSIONS

Wound healing is a complex and well-organized process that requires communication between cells. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of extract have been determined by current studies. extract may provide significant benefits in promoting the wound healing process.
