Enhancement of wound healing by topical application of Scorzonera species: Determination of the constituents by HPLC with new validated reverse phase method

In the current study, aerial parts and roots of Scorzonera cinerea, Scorzonera incisa, Scorzonera latifolia, Scorzonera mollis ssp. szowitsii, Scorzonera parviflora, Scorzonera tomentosa and yakı sakızı obtained from the root latex of Scorzonera latifolia were evaluated for their wound healing and anti-inflammatory effects. The methanol-water extracts from aerial parts of Scorzonera latifolia and Scorzonera mollis ssp. szowitsii were found to have better activity on the wound healing which might be due to the combined effect of the constituents present in the extracts.
