The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-diabetic and wound healing properties of Cissus multistriata leaf extract. Diabetes mellitus was induced with alloxan and graded doses of methanol leaf extract of Cissus multistriata were administered orally to the experimentally diabetic rats for 28 days at 400, 800 and 1600mg/kg b.w for groups. Administration of the methanol extract elicited a statistically significant (P<0.05) reduction in blood glucose level in alloxan induced diabetic rats. The reduction was dose dependent. There was reduction in blood haemoglobin and increase in body weights of animals which were statistically significant (P<0.05) when compared with the control. Three groups of male rats each consisting of four rats were used for the evaluation of wound healing potential of the extract. Groups 1, 2 and 3 were treated topically with C. multistriata, Povidone iodine (drug) and paraffin base (negative control), respectively. The extract significantly (P<0.05) accelerated wound healing process compared to standard povidone iodine used. It could be stated that Cissus multistriata possesses hypoglycemic and wound healing properties.
