The effect of topical “D2-VDN” on wound healing in Swiss albino mice
Main Article Content
Abstract
Virgin coconut oil has been shown to possess numerous effects, including antioxidant, skin-softening, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and enhanced epithelialization. “D2-VDN” consists of virgin coconut oil sourced from Vietnam and promises to effectively treat skin damage. The project aims to experimentally evaluate the wound healing effect of "D2-VDN," conducted on Swiss albino mice with skin wounds. The research drugs included: Contractubex applied topically at a dose of 0.2 g/day, and "D2-VDN" applied topically at doses of 0.2 ml/day and 0.4 ml/day, for 14 consecutive days. “D2-VDN” accelerates the wound healing process on mice skin by reducing the lesion area and improving the histopathology of the damaged skin (p < 0.05).
