Pharmacological evaluation of wound healing activity of herbal based formulation “Amree Plus®” in diabetic rats
Journal Title: The Journal of Phytopharmacology - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Delayed wound healing is producing high economic burden on the society and is generally associated with Diabetes mellitus or related complications thus needs safe treatment like herbal formulation. „Amree Plus® (an anti-diabetic ayurvedic formulation)‟ was evaluated for wound healing potential in normal and diabetic rats. The effect of polyherbal formulation Amree plus ® on wound healing has been studied in diabetic and normal animals and compared with standard (Chymoral Forte) using excision wound model. Diabetes was induced by administration of single dose of Streptozotocin 55 mg/kg i.p. The biochemical parameters i.e. hydroxyl proline content, total protein content, glutathione and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were also estimated. Rats treated with Amree Plus® at both doses i.e. 1200 and 5400 mg/kg dose per day had significantly high wound contraction both in diabetic and normal rats (88.91 & 95.05 %, respectively) in comparison to respective control. Hydroxyproline content of the granulation tissue and anti-oxidants (glutathione and SOD) level were also showing same pattern in Amree Plus® 5400 mg/kg treatment group with respect to controls. Wound contraction and other biochemical indicators results with animals Amree Plus® (1200 mg/kg) treated were found to be statistically equivalent to standard chymoral forte dose (36 kAU/kg) while Amree Plus® 5400 mg/kg dose showed statistically higher results than standard. Amree Plus®, an established antidiabetic formulation, was also showing healing of the wound in normal animals along with diabetic animals. So this finding should be confirmed further for more precision with large number of animals and small progression of doses.
