Resumo
The present study aimed to review the literature about the use of the bark extract of barbatimão, Stryphnodendron adstringens (Martius) Coville, on cutaneous wound
healing in animals. Currently, companies and researchers from different kinds of
studies, and the general population have shown a growing interest in the use of
herbal medicine as an alternative for the treatment of various disorders. This occurs
mainly because of the lower cost and the possibility of minor adverse effects of
herbal medicines compared to allopathic medicine. A plant of great interest for
Veterinary Medicine, because of their therapeutic properties, especially their potential
in healing skin wounds, is barbatimão. The wound healing activity of this herbal
medicine is given to high levels of tannins in the bark, the raw material used to
produce the extract. Despite of the existence of several studies on the subject, many
of them still are conducted with little scientific accuracy, especially because of the not
adequately characterize the substance used. Therefore, it is recommended not only
to characterize the constituents of the barbatimão extract, but conduct studies with
more discerning and accuracy, to establish the real mechanisms to validate the
therapeutic potential of this herbal in wound healing.
