WOUND HEALING AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITIES OF THE CHLOROFORM EXTRACT OF GLINUS LOTOIDES LINN. IN ALBINO RATS

Wound healing is a process which is fundamentally a connecting tissue response. Wound healing comprise of different phase such as contraction, epithelization, granulation and collagenation. Microbes easily enters into the wounds and causes infection.The present study has proved that the wound healing potential and antibacterial activity of chloroform extract obtained from Glinus lotoides Linn. showed significant effect. The animals administrated with the chloroform extract Glinus lotoides Linn. (CEGL) showed a high tensile strength and antibacterial activity. Flavanoides, glycosides may be attributed to the wound healing activity.
