Background: Lawsonia inermis-extracted oil is known for therapeutic properties, especially wound healing. This study assesses the potential of this oil for wound healing in a rat model.
Methodology: To assess the potential of L.
Laminaran, a polysaccharide extracted from marine algae, exhibits attractive properties being non-toxic, hydrophilic and biodegradable. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a cream based on the brown seaweed Cystoseira barbata laminaran (CBL) for healing full thickness wounds induced on rats. The antibacterial activity of CBL was evaluated against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and the antioxidant properties were assessed using five different assays.
