Wound healing activity of cyperus rotundus linn.

Abstract

The present study was aimed to evaluate the wound healing activity of extract of tuber parts of Cyperus rotundus. It is a well-known plant in Indian traditional medicine. On the basis of traditional use and literature references, this plant was selected for evaluation of wound healing potential. An alcoholic extract of tuber parts of Cyperus rotundus was examined for wound healing activity in the form of ointment in three types of wound models on rats: the excision, the incision and dead space wound model. The extract ointments showed considerable difference in response in all the above said wound models as comparable to those of a standard drug nitrofurazone ointment (0.2% w/w NFZ) in terms of wound contracting ability, wound closure time and tensile strength.

Comparative Biochemical Studies on Indian Sedges Cyperus scariosus R.Br and Cyperus rotundus L.

“…The presence of these compounds suggests the medicinal importance of well-known anti-inflammatory compounds in the benzene insoluble fraction. 19 On the other hand, the SEM-EDAX analysis also showed differing elemental compositions and their ratio across the species. This variation in elemental concentration further suggests that these plants are phylogenitically different and that they may exhibit different therapeutic actions as curative and preventive agents.…”
