Abstract :

Wound healing is a complex biological process that becomes significantly impaired in diabetic conditions due to oxidative stress, poor circulation, and prolonged inflammation. Tecoma stans is a medicinal plant known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic properties. This review summarizes the phytochemical composition, pharmacological activities, gel formulation approach, and analytical standardization of Tecoma stans for wound management. The presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, and naphthoquinones contributes to its therapeutic effectiveness. Incorporation of the ethanolic extract into a topical gel system enhances stability, controlled release, and patient compliance. Analytical techniques such as UV–Visible spectroscopy and HPLC ensure quality control and reproducibility. Overall, Tecoma stans shows promising potential as a standardized herbal formulation for effective diabetic wound healing.
Keywords: Tecoma stans, wound healing, diabetic ulcers, phytochemistry, herbal gel, antioxidant activity, HPLC, UV–Visible spectroscopy, analytical standardization, topical formulation
