Background: The Mattan tailam mixture has been extensively used to heal ulcerous wounds in traditional Siddha practice. The present study aimed to synthesize a Mattan tailam nanogel and evaluate the enhancement of wound healing potential in an experimental wound model. Methods: Mattan tailam nanogel was synthesized using the high-energy milling approach, and characterization of nanogel and potency of wound healing was investigated. The novelty of this study was the nanogel preparation of Mattan tailam. Results: As expected, a synthesized novel nanogel of Mattan tailam has a distinct, prominent peak with a spherical form, is negatively charged and has an average particle size of 20–30 nm. Mattan tailam nanogel treated rats showed a remarkable reduction (p<0.001) in the wound area. On the 16th day, 10% Mattan tailam nanogel treatment resulted in a higher percentage of wound contraction. The 10% Mattan tailam nanogel group exhibited a faster epithelialization time (14.33 days) and a greater hydroxyproline concentration than the others. The topical application of 10% Mattan tailam nanogel increased tensile strength, signifying a better therapeutic indication. Conclusion: The present findings prove that polyherbal Mattan tailam nanogel formulation significantly improves collagen production, wound contraction, and tensile strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
