Various scientific investigations revealed analgesic-antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, hypoglycemic, anthelmintic, and antidiarrhoeal activity of C. viscosa. Panduraju et al. reported the topical application of Cleomeviscosa extract accelerated the wound healing in Wistar rat with significant wound contraction rate.
Our previous experimental findings showed that methanol extract of C. viscosa (CvME) possesses potent antioxidant, antimicrobial, and fibroblast proliferation properties as compared to petroleum ether, chloroform, and water extracts.
However, to rationalize the wound healing activity of C. viscosa, some major supportive evidences of efficacy such as histopathological examination, estimation of growth factors, and effect on collagen production in healing tissue are yet to be investigated.
Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the C. viscosa induced alteration in fibroblast growth factor and its effect on Smad-mediated collagen (type III) production in Wistar rat excision wound model.
