However, this folk claim remains to be confirmed scientifically. <jats:italic>Objective<\/jats:italic>. This study investigated wound healing and antimicrobial effects of <jats:italic>P. clappertoniana<\/jats:italic> fruit husk extract (PCFHE) by using excision wound model in rats. <jats:italic>Materials and Methods<\/jats:italic>. After preparation and phytochemical analysis of PCFHE, it was reconstituted in purified water and emulsifying ointment yielding a wound healing formula (0.3, 1, and 3%). Excision wounds were established in healthy male Sprague\u2010Dawley rats (aged 8\u201010 weeks; weighing 150\u2013200\u2009g). Rats were randomly assigned into six groups (model, 1% silver sulfadiazine [SSD], vehicle, and PCFHE [0.3, 1, and 3%, respectively]) and topically treated daily until complete wound healing. The endpoints (period of epithelialization, wound contraction, collagen content, erythema index, oedema index, inflammatory cell infiltration, and antimicrobial activity) were assessed for all groups. Minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC), minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and time\u2010kill were assessed. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Quercetin and catechin were detected in PCFHE. Compared to model and vehicle groups, PCFHE\u2010treatment groups improved wound healing and antimicrobial (MBC, MFC, and MIC) endpoints. PCFHE demonstrated bacteriostatic and fungicidal effects against identified wound contaminants (<jats:italic>Pseudomonas aeruginosa<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Klebsiella pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Candida albicans<\/jats:italic>). <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>P. clappertoniana<\/jats:italic> fruit husk possesses wound healing and antimicrobial effects in excisional wounds in rats that confirms its folk use, and the reported pharmacological properties of PCFHE are attributable to its quercetin and catechin phyto\u2010constituents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/9709365","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,23]],"date-time":"2022-07-23T18:50:08Z","timestamp":1658602208000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Wound Healing Properties and Antimicrobial Effects of <i>Parkia clappertoniana<\/i> Keay Fruit Husk Extract in a Rat Excisional Wound Model"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2022","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4911-8483","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dominic Nkwantabisa","family":"Kuma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1133-0940","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alex","family":"Boye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1865-1261","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Godwin","family":"Kwakye-Nuako","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2134-0034","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yaw Duah","family":"Boakye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0196-2087","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Justice Kwaku","family":"Addo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9428-1891","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ernest Amponsah","family":"Asiamah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7723-9595","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eugene Agyei","family":"Aboagye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6740-5411","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Orleans","family":"Martey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4641-2647","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mainprice Akuoko","family":"Essuman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1619-2583","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Victor Yao","family":"Atsu Barku","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/5562340"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/wrr.12683"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12325-017-0478-y"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-0690(03)00035-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1172\/JCI38226"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_2","first-page":"363","article-title":"The modern approach to wound treatment","volume":"53","author":"Komarcevi\u0107 A.","year":"2000","journal-title":"Medicinski Pregled"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/dmrr.2707"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/ten.tec.2017.0212"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biopha.2020.110120"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_2","first-page":"253","article-title":"The effect of topical administration of an ointment prepared from Trifolium repens hydroethanolic extract on the acceleration of excisional cutaneous wound healing","volume":"32","author":"Habibi Zadeh S.
