This study explores the metabolic profile and wound-healing capabilities of , a species within the Moraceae family, for the first time. plants contain a variety of secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, triterpenoids, and alkaloids, known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic properties. Previous studies demonstrated the effectiveness of extracts in wound healing, with evidence of improved wound contraction, strength, and faster epithelization.

Although alcohol septal ablation (ASA) is an established interventional treatment, mavacamten, a novel cardiac myosin inhibitor, has emerged as a noninvasive pharmacologic alternative. Understanding the comparative efficacy of these 2 treatments is important for optimizing patient care.
