| Popis: | Background Infection is the major problem to treat the wound. Antibiotic resistance by the pathogenic microorganism renders drug ineffective and calls for improved designing and development of new drugs. New approach has been developed to isolate active components from botanicals. Our aim was to investigate the potential of Cassia fistula to treat the infected wound on albino rat model. Material and methods The alcohol extract of C. fistula leaves was analyzed for antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853. Formulated ointment was topically applied on the infected wound. Wound reduction rate, histological analysis, biochemical analysis, and gelatin zymography were obtained to assess the healing pattern. Results C. fistula treated rats showed, better wound closure, improved tissue regeneration at the wound site, and supporting histopathological parameters pertaining to wound healing. Biochemical analysis and matrix metalloproteinases expression correlated well with the results thus confirming efficacy of C. fistula in the treatment of the infected wound. Conclusion Along with the other activities such as antitumor, antioxidant, hypoglycemic, hepatoprotective, antibacterial, hypocholesterolaemic, and antidiabetic activity, the healing potential of C. fistula provides a scientific rationale for the traditional use of this plant in the management of infected dermal wound and can be further investigated as a substitute to treat infected wounds without using synthetic antibiotics. |
