Hariyanto IH, Fajriaty I, Wijaya T, Hafizh M. 2018. The potential ethnomedicine plant of Impatiens balsamina leaves from Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia for wound healing. Nusantara Bioscience 10: 58-64. Pacar air or garden balsam (Impatiens balsamina L.) is a herb plant that grows wildly in high humidity areas. The leaves of I. balsamina are used by the people in Bengkulu, Indonesia, as herbal medicine to treat wounds. I. balsamina grows abundantly in West Borneo due to the proper conditions. This study aimed to determine the wound healing activity of I. balsamina as an ethnomedicine plant and standardize its extract. The leaves of I. balsamina was macerated with 96% ethanol. The extraction yield was 20.3%, the solubility of the extract in water and ethanol was 15.77% and 41.41%, respectively, the drying rate was 23.02%, and the extracted density was 0.8136 g/mL. The extract of I. balsamina contained polyphenols, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, quinones, steroids, and terpenoids based on the phytochemical screening. Anatomical and histological pathology tests showed that the leaves extract had the potential to heal the external wound.

Swietenia mahagoni or known as tunjuk langit is a widely known plant to possess good properties in treating diseases as well as a wound treatment. The purpose of this work was to examine the wound healing ability of the seed extracts in term of its ability to promote cell proliferation and migration. The extracts from two extraction methods, i.e. supercritical carbon dioxide and Soxhlet, were evaluate using cytotoxicity and scratch assays on human skin fibroblast cells. The findings showed that the extraction yield using supercritical fluid extraction was lower than Soxhlet method with 48.9% yield recovery.  In addition, the seed extracts were able to stimulate cell growth and migratory effect. This information can be used as a basis to performed subsequent study to report wound healing activity of this plant material.

Aims: The aim of the present work to perform phytochemical screening and wound healing activity of different leaf extract of Rhynchosia rothii. Place and Duration of the Study: The present work has been carried out at Oriental University, Indore between the duration of November-2020 to January-2021. Methodology: Rhynchosia rothii dried leaf powder was subjected to continuous extraction with a soxhlet extractor using various organic solvents. Preliminary phytochemical screening with various qualitative chemical tests revealed the presence of Alkaloids, Tannins, Flavonoids, proteins, and mucilage present in Rhynchosia rothii leaf extracts. Wister rats of both sexes weighing 150-200 g were used for experimental purposes. The animals were kept in polypropylene cages at room temperature and with a light/dark cycle of 12:12 hours.  All the test extracts at a different dose level and standard were administered topically once daily from day 0 to the day of complete healing or the 21st postoperative day, whichever occurred earlier. Results: A significant increase in wound healing activity was observed in animals treated with alcoholic and aqueous extracts of Rhynchosia rothii leaves at a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight, compared to control treatments. Both methanolic and standard extracts of Rhynchosia rothii (200 mg/kg body weight) showed a dose-dependent increase in the rate of wound contraction. The methanolic extract of Rhynchosia rothii at a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight showed an increase in the percentage of wound contraction from 40.08% to 88.90% from day 3 to 12. The aqueous (standard) extract of Rhynchosia rothii at a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight showed an increase in the percentage of wound contraction from 46.02% to 100% from day 3 to 12. Conclusion: From the previous results it was concluded that the Wound represents a serious health problem, both in terms of morbidity and mortality. Wound healing is a critical response to tissue integrity. Therefore, the wound healing property of Rhynchosia rothii can be attributed to the phytoconstituents present in it, which may be due to its individual or additive effect that accelerates the wound healing process. Since Rhynchosia rothii is grown in abundance in India and rest of other part of world, it could be a fairly good and easily available therapeutic agent due to its naturally occurring tendency for healing wounds as a healer, as well as controlling abnormal healing.

Wound healing is a vital physiological process that helps to retain the integrity of the skin after it has been damaged, whether by accident or by a deliberate operation. In Tinsukia district, Assam, tribal people and folklore traditions employ a wide variety of plants/plant extracts/decoctions or pastes to cure wounds. This study is designed to explore the ethnomedicinal plants used for the wound healing properties by the people of Tinsukia district, Assam. The Documentation of potential ethnobotanical information of traditionally used medicinal plant with wound healing activity will facilitates the scientific evaluation to look forward into a leading scientific prospect for the development of new herbal therapy for wound healing.
