The objective of the present research was to find out the efficacy of Jatropha latex cream in the epithelialization phase of wound healing in mice skin. A total of 9 male mice aged 2-3 months old and the bodyweight of 25-40 g were divided into three treatment groups. Group A was given basic cream, group B was given Jatropha latex cream (10%), and group C was given sulfadiazine. The 2 cm incision wound was made in the paravertebral area. Wound therapy was carried out twice a day for 7 days. All quantitative data were measured using ANOVA then followed by the Duncan test. The number of angiogenesis on A, B, and C was 4.67±1.20; 12.78±2.52; and 11.33±2.33, while a number of fibroblasts were 179.56±12.69; 90.56±8.23; and 99.11±7.04, respectively. The average deposition of collagen was 1.46±0.12; 1.89±0.10; and 1.74±0.06, respectively. The statistical test showed that the number of angiogenesis, fibroblast, and deposition of collagen on group B was significantly different (P<0.05) compared to group A and showed no significant difference compared to group C (P>0.05). In conclusion, Jatropha latex cream (10%) able to accelerate the epithelialization phase of wound healing in mice skin.
