The investigation focuses on six indigenous Ghanaian plants known for their antibacterial and wound healing properties. Key findings highlight the antibacterial activity of P. pinnata, H. opposita, G. arboreum, and F. asperifolia against various strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Active compounds from P. pinnata were isolated and characterized using chromatographic techniques and NMR spectroscopy. Additionally, these extracts demonstrated significant stimulatory effects on human dermal fibroblast cell proliferation and exhibited antioxidant protective effects against oxidative damage.
