ABSTRACT
Coumarin was found to be the major component of an acetone extract of the herbaceous plant, justicia pectorials, which is used in folk medicine for the treatment of cuts. Fresh wounds created on Wistar rats and treated with the extracted coumarin, showed attenuated inflammatory process and significantly enhanced wound healing compared with control rats. The use of this plant therefore appears to influence the wound-healing process (AU)
