Abstract
Chemotaxonomic examination or ethanobotonical information was used to consider the therapeutic activity of a plant for a particular disease. A loss of cellular and functional continuity of living tissue termed as wound. The infection causing microbes at the wounded site develop resistance against the targeted antibiotics used in controlling microbes and curing wounds. Extraction of novel biologically active compounds from plant species is thereby necessary to cure human ailments especially controlling microbes and curing wounds. This can be achieved by topically applying the compounds with free radical scavenging properties. On considering the above importance, the present study was undertaken to evaluate the anti-oxidant and wound healing activity of medicinal plant Anisomeles malabarica , The leaf extracts of Anisomeles malabarica exhibited antioxidant activity which was assayed using DPPH free radical scavenging assay. The leaf extracts were subjected to Cytotoxicity assay against Vero cell lines. Anisomeles malabarica extracts showed better activity than and was selected for the wound healing assay.

​​Keywords: Antioxidant; Anisomeles malabarica; Cytotoxicity; Wound healing.
