Popis: ObjectiveSida cordifolia Linn. (Hindi—kungyi; Sanskrit—bala) is a shrub (family Malvaceae) grown all over India. In Ayurveda, the crushed leaves of the plant is used for the treatment and dressing of wounds. Traditionally, root juice is also used to promote the healing of wounds. This study was designed to evaluate the wound healing potential of hydrogel of methanolic extract of Sida cordifolia Linn. (MeOHSC) in diabetic rats.MethodsThe methanolic extract in the form of hydrogel was applied topically for the management of wounds in fructose-fed streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The % wound contraction, period of epithelialization, hydroxyproline content, and histopathological examination were evaluated using the excision wound model, and tensile strength was measured using the incision wound model.ResultsThe results showed that in both models, hydrogel of MeOHSC was found to have significant wound healing activity compared with diabetic wound control in terms of % wound contraction (p
