Wound Healing and Acute Dermal Toxicity Studies of (Jacq.) P. H. Raven (Onagraceae) in Rats.

Introduction: The aerial part of has been used traditionally in some parts of Asia for the management of wounds owing to the presence of phytochemicals such as tannins, flavonoids, and triterpenoids among others. The incidence of wounds, their associated complications, and the cost of wound care are on the increase globally, therefore, the need to develop alternative wound care agents. The aim of this study was to scientifically investigate the wound healing potential of the ethanolic extract of using the excision wound healing model in rats and also carry out an acute dermal toxicity investigation of the plant extract.
