In qualitative phytochemical analysis of petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol extracts of the leaves of Cocculus hirsutus Diels, the important secondary plant metabolites detected are Carbohydrates, Steroids, Glycosides, Tannins, Saponins and Flavonoids. The methanol extract and fresh leaves juice are subjected to wound healing activity in incision and excision wound models taking Soframycin sulphate as standard. The results revealed that the methanol extract ointment 10%w/w has highest wound healing potency among the test groups and is comparable with the standard and thus the results offer a scientific support to the treatment of traditional healers of this region.
