Wound healing activity of acylated iridoid glycosides from Scrophularia nodosa
Preclinical
Abstract
Three acylated iridoid glycosides (scopolioside A, scrophuloside A4 and scrovalentinoside) were isolated from the dried seed pods of Scrophularia nodosa and shown in vitro to stimulate the growth of human dermal fibroblasts. The presence of these compounds may explain the European ethnobotanical use of figwort for healing wounds.
