Angiogenic activity of Calendula officinalis flowers L. in rats

Abstract: Purpose:In this work, angiogenic activity of Calendula officinalis L. (Asteraceae) ethanolic extract and dichloromethane and hexanic fractions were evaluated, considering medicinal properties, especially healing activity, are attributed to this plant. Methods: Models using 36 rats and 90 embryonated eggs were used to evaluate healing and angiogenic activities of extracts and fractions of the plant, through the induction of skin wounds and the chorioallantoic membrane, respectively. The effect of vascular proli… Show more

“…Our data suggest that the antimicrobial component of A. membranaceus is not water-soluble, and that the commercial preparation tested does not retain the component. While we did not observe any inhibition with calendula oil, other studies have documented its positive contribution to wound healing [27-30]. Calendula is associated with lymphocyte activation [15], angiogenesis [30], and alleviation of irritations [31], so it is plausible that its role in healing is due primarily to immune modulation and stimulation of tissue repair rather than antimicrobial activity.…”

“…Plants have been used medicinally for several years (Abd Rani et al, 2018;Parente et al, 2012;Ricardo, Dias, Mugge, Leite, & Brandao, 2018;Tiwari et al, 2018). C. officinalis, a species used in Europe for the treatment of wounds since the 13th century, and a large number of cosmetics and personal care were developed through their compounds (Hartmann et al, 2017;Parente et al, 2011). Its use is supported by different in vivo and in vitro studies.…”
