Evaluation of the Haemostatic Activities of Sida corymbosa in Rats

Evaluation of the wound healing potential of an ointement formulated with Chromoleana odorata (L.) R. M. King & H. Rob. (Asteraceae)

“…Research has shown that plants in the Asteraceae family have similar healing and anti-inflammatory properties due to their phytochemical composition [13]. The healing effect is thought to be the effect of alkaloids and tannins that have a hemostatic action by causing localized vasoconstriction to stop the bleeding by forming foam with the blood and reducing blood flow [14]. Lack of infection on wounds treated with C. odorata extract would explain its action in the detertion of wounds, phenolic compounds would precipitate the proteins of the injured tissues by creating a protective layer that isolates the wound from its environment, terpenoids that possess an antimicrobial effect that could be a key factor in healing by inhibiting infection and accelerating the inflammatory process, as well as healing [15][16][17].…”

Preliminary Phytochemical and Toxicity Studies of Aqueous Leaf Extract of <i>Sida corymbosa</i> Plant

“…Phytochemical screening of the plant carried out by Dike et al [8] SO − and Cl − relative to the roots. The plant also possesses anti-haemorrhagic properties in rats [9]. However, the study carried out by Ezeugwunne et al [10] showed a significant increase in serum levels of uric acid, urea and creatinine following treatment with Sida corymbosa with remarkedly decreased body weight in treated animals thus, the plant may have detrimental effect on the kidneys.…”
