Abstract
The powdered form of Tamarindus indica stem bark is traditionally applied for the management of various infirmities that include diabetes, malaria, diarrhea, typhoid and wounds. The present study is aimed at providing scientific validation for the wounds restorative potential of Tamarindus indica methanol stem bark extract in the excision albino rats model. Maceration extraction was done using 100% solvent (methanol) and qualitative phytochemical analyses were carried out using standard methods. Excision wound methods was adopted to evaluate wound healing therapeutic potentials of Tamarindus indica. Phytoconstituents present were alkaloids, flavonoids saponins, cardiac glycosides, and quinones. Wounded rats were treated with ointment formulation of the extract (10% and 50% w/w) and penicillin cream for 24days. Wounds size reduction and rate of epithelization revealed a significant (P<0.05) dose-dependent increase in the extract-treated groups compared to normal control. Significant percentage (%) wound contraction in penicillin and extract-treated groups were seen on day 9. Findings of present study certify that crude extract of Tamarindus indica methanol stem bark extract possesses wound healing potentials. This justifies the ethnomedicinal use of this plant for the treatment of wounds and sores.

Key words: Woundhealing,epithelisation, stembark extract and wound contraction
