Objective:To evaluate the wound healing potential of fractions from ethanol extract of Martynin annua(M.annua) Linn leaves.Methods:Ethanol extract of Af.annua Linn leaves was fractionate into three different fractions(MAF-A,MAF-B and MAF-C) which were screened for wound healing potential using two models:excision and incision on rats.The thin layer chromatography(TLC) profile of all fractions were analysed and TLC of luteolin was also done.The PovidoneIodine Ointment was used as reference for comparision.Excision and incision wounds were created on dorsal portion of rats for study.Wound contraction,biochemical parameters(protein level and hydroxyproline level) and histopathological study were performed in excision wound model whereas incision model was used for determination of tensile strength.Results:The wound contraction and tensile strength of skin tissues were observed significantly greater in MAF-C fraction treated group than other two fractions(P<0.01).In excision wound method(on day 18) protein content and hydroxyproline were found significantly higher in MAF-C group than control group(P<0.01).Histopathological study also showed better angiogenesis,matured collagen fibres and fibroblast cells as compared with the control group.Conclusions:In conclusion, our findings suggest that fiaction MAF-C from ethanol extract of M.annua leaves is found most effective in wound healing.
