Assessment of the crude ethanol leaf extracts of Momordica charantia Linn., Moringa oleifera Lam., Tabernaemontana pandacaqui Poir. and Mollugo oppositifolia Linn. for its wound healing activity in castrated piglets
Abstract
Botanicals possess healing and medicinal properties which could be an alternative to synthetic therapeutic drugs. The study evaluated the healing activity of selected botanicals on castration wounds of piglets. Crude ethanol leaf extracts of selected botanicals were subjected to wound healing activity assessment. Wound surface area, photography of wounds, epithelialization and scar appearance were assessed. Results showed that all plants contain reducing sugars, tannins, carbohydrates, polyphenols, and flavonoids which may have contributed to wound healing activity independently or synergistically. Momordica charantia Linn., Moringa oleifera Lam., Tabernaemontana pandacaqui Poir. and Mollugo oppositifolia Linn. crude ethanol leaf extracts exhibited pro-healing activity by affecting the various phases of healing process, wound closure, and epithelialization of castration wounds of piglets. Tabernaemontana pandacaqui Poir. and Momordica charantia Linn. crude ethanol leaf extracts have the best wound healing potential compared to the other extracts. The crude ethanol leaf extracts have properties that render them capable of promoting accelerated wound healing activity. The use of botanicals in the treatment of castration wounds of piglets is far more economical than using commercial preparations.
