Formation (5% & 10% ointment) of ethanolic extract of Azima tetracantha (leaves) was applied topically over the excision wound. Formation of (100 mg/kg & 200 mg/kg) ethanolic extract of Azima tetracantha(leaves) was applied orally for dead space. It was found that ointment treated rats showed accelerated healing than control in excision wound. In dead space, the tensile strength was also found to increased in extract treated groups. https://www.biotech-asia.org/vol3no2/wound-healing-activity-of-azima-tetracantha-lam-on-albino-rats/ Azima tetracantha ethanolic extract wound healing activity nitrofurazone.
