Globularia arabica Methanolic Leaf Extract Has Higher Efficacy on Burn Wound Healing in Diabetic Rats Compared to Malva slyvestries Methanolic Leaf Extract

Abstract

This study aimed to see how effective Globularia arabica and Malva slyvestries-based cream formulations were at healing scald burn wounds in rats. Depending on ointment, preparations of 1%, 5%, and 10% w/w were created. For comparison, an ointment base and a regular burn cream composed soframycine were utilized. Rats introduced a burn by solidifying equipment at 100°C on a 14-mm2 shaved dorsal region. A deep second-degree burn was created, and the percentage of wound contraction was measured over the next 15 days. The rats were euthanized on days 8 and 15, and histological slides were prepared using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Compared to the control group, there was a substantial increase in wound contraction and a significant decrease in the duration of epithelialization in the based ointment-treated groups. However, as paralleled to Globularia arabica, significant (P < .05) results were observed with 10% Globularia arabica cream, whereas Malva slyverstries indicate minimal healing. Soframycine causes a substantial increase in wound contraction (P < .05). Soframycine cream with 10% Globularia arabica therapy resulted in practically complete re-epithelialization and re-structuring of wound tissue on histological examination, whereas Malva slyversries treatment resulted in low epithelization during treatment days. The findings suggest that Globularia arabica-based cream has the wound-healing capability.
