Antioxidant, Antimicrobial And Wound Healing Activity Of Salvadora persica Twig Extracts

Abstract

Wound healing is an interaction of complex cascade of cellular and biochemical actions healing to the restoration of structural and functional integrity with regain of strength of injured tissues [1]. It involves continuous cell cell interaction and cell matrix interactions that allow the process to proceed in different overlapping phases including inflammation, wound contraction , re epithelialization, tissue remodeling and formation of granulation tissue with angiogenesis [2]. These events are regulated by several mediators including platelets, inflammatory cells, cytokines and growth factors, and matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors [3].
