Wound Healing properties of Aqueous Extracts of Sargassum illicifolium: An In Vitro Assay

ConclusionsCell proliferation and migration were significantly faster in those treated with S.i-SW23 aqueous extracts when compared with the control group. Moreover, no cytotoxic effect of S.i aqueous extracts on L929 cell line were observed. This study suggests that S.i might be a potential therapeutic agent for skin wound healing by promoting fibroblast proliferation and migration. Further studies are highly warranted to identify active molecules in the extracts. Moreover, in-vivo studies would further verify wound healing therapeutic applications shown here.
