EVALUATION OF ANTI-PYRETIC AND WOUNDHEALING ACTIVITIES OF EVOLVULUS NUMMULARIUS LEAVES IN ALBINO WISTAR RATS
Keywords:
Anti-pyretic, Wound healing activity, Evolvulus nummularius, Albino wistar ratsAbstract
Objective: The present study was to evaluate the anti-pyretic and wound healing activity of hydro alcoholic extracts of Evolvulus nummularius leaves in albino wistar rats.
Methods: Anti-pyretic potential was determined by yeast-induced pyrexia and for testing the wound healing property, excision method used in wistar albino rats
Results: The present result shows that the hydroalcoholc extract of leaf possesses significant anti-pyretic effect in yeast-provoked elevation of body temperature and The hydro alcoholic extract and leaf juices showed a significant wound healing activity which was well comparable with the standard drug used.
Conclusions: The most significant inhibition of wound healing and also the significant reduction in hyperpyrexia in rats when treated with standard drugs as well as different extracts.
