The various leave extracts of G.arborea such as ethanol, ethyl acetate ,methanol and petroleum ether were obtained by successive solvent extraction. The standard drug (povidone iodine ointment) applied topically and all the extracts (250 mg/Kg) of G.arborea leaves were given orally.The ethanolic extract showed significant increase in wound contraction and formation of scar in excision wound model.The extract showed significant increase in the breaking strength of resutured incision wound as compared to control group (p<0.05).The result of the present study indicate that the ethanolic extract of G.arborea leave shows more significant wound healing property than the other three extracts in excision and incision wound model.
