Wound healing consists of several continuous phases involving various cells and chemical intermediates. As a rich source of nutrition elements, honey has proved to have potential benefits in the treatment of various diseases. The present study was designed to investigate the healing effect of a honey mixture with selected essential oils on chemical and thermal wound models in rabbits. Dressing mixtures of Thymus vulgaris honey with three essential oils (Origanum vulgare, Rosmarinus officinalis, and Thymus vulgaris) were prepared and applied daily in the treatment groups. These essential oils were rich in phytochemicals and had significant antibacterial activity against four selected ATCC bacterial strains. Madecasol ointment was used as a standard control. The healing effect of the mixtures was evaluated by measuring wound surface area and comparing healing time. The results showed that the healing rate in the treatment groups was significantly higher than that of the untreated group and standard group. The best healing effect for burns was seen in the mixture of honey and Thymus vulgaris essential oil, which had wound closure rates of 85.21% and 82.14% in thermal- and chemical-induced burns, respectively, and showed the shortest healing time (14 days) in comparison to other groups. Therefore, it can be concluded that honey mixtures have significant beneficial effects on skin wound healing and, thus, they may be used as a healing agent in different types of wounds in humans after specific clinical trials.

RESUMELes effets pharmacologiques de la 4-phenyl-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one ont été examinés chez des souris par des tests comportementaux classiques (Test de planche à trous, Test de labyrinthe et Test de la tige tournante) et comparés par rapport aux produits dont le potentiel anxiogenique ou anxiolytique sont connus. L'analyse de nos résultats a montré que la 4-phenyl-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one et le diazépam ont augmenté le temps passé dans les bras ouverts, tandis que la picrotoxin a entraîné la diminution de ce temps. Considérant les résultats de l'évaluation de l'activité locomotrice, du comportement exploratoire et du comportement des animaux sur la tige tournante, le diazépam et la 4-phenyl-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one ont influencé de façon significative ces derniers par rapport à la picrotoxin et au véhicule. Ces données suggèrent que la 4-phenyl-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one possède une activité anxiolytique.
