Abstract

In the present study deals with the wound healing activity of Red and Black coloured seed, White colour seed of Abrus precatorius L. (Fabaceae). The seed crude extract and methanol insoluble fractions of white form resulted in early wound healing activity in with and without infection. This wound healing activity due to the presence of gums, mucilages, tannins or phenolic compounds in the seeds. The results of the antimicrobial studies are promising and further support the effectiveness of the seed extracts and fraction in controlling the infection in vivo.
