Two models were performed to evaluate the wound healing activity i.e., Incision and Excision model. In incision model the parameter which was carried out was breaking strength of wounded skin. In excision model percentage wound contraction and period of epithelialization was established for both the extracts. Reference standard drug was Aloe vera ointment for comparison with other groups. From the observation in both the models, Aq. extract of Morus alba was found to have greater wound healing activity in terms of breaking strength in incision model and percentage wound contraction, period of epithelialization was highest in excision model compared with other groups. In conclusion, our findings suggest that aq. extract of Morus alba possess better healing ability than the ethanolic extract.}, journal = {American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
