ABSTRACT
The discovery of drugs from medicinal plants provides new and important leads against various pharmacological targets including chronic diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, malaria, and pain.[1] Hemidesmus indicus (Tamil: nannari) is very commonly used for the treatment of gastrointestinal and cardiovascular disorders.[2] An extract from this plant’s root inhibits the growth of E. coli, Streptococcus, Corynebacterium, and Pneumonia.[3] As the extract is known to have antimicrobial activity, our present study was designed to determine the wound healing activity of a herbal formulation made from H. indicus.
