Great plantain ( L. or ) is a medicinal plant that is available all around the world. The whole plant has several bioactive compounds including terpenoids, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, alkaloids, fatty acids, iridoid glycosides, polysaccharides, and vitamins. Scientific studies have recognized several medical benefits like wound healing, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiulcerative, and antioxidative agents. The wound-healing capacity of this plant has been investigated under and ex vivo conditions. In the current study, we aim to compare the therapeutic effect of the extract with 1% sulfadiazine on the healing of second-degree burn wounds.
