Overview)
Lantana (Wild sage) is a small creeping scrub from South America.
This medicinal plant is used for the treatment of skin itches, as an antiseptic for wounds, and for external use
against leprosy and scabies.The bark is astringent and used as a lotion in leprous ulcers and other eruptions of the skin. The leaves are boiled and applied for swellings and pain of the body. Alkaloids from lantana have been found to stimulate intestinal movements in experimental animals, lower blood pressure and accelerate deep respiration. Plant extracts are used in folk medicine for the treatment of cancers, chicken pox, measles, asthma, ulcers, eczema, tumors, high blood pressure, bilious fevers, catarrhal infections, tetanus and rheumatism. Extracts from the leaves exhibit antimicrobial, fungicidal, insecticidal and nematicidal activity. Phytochemicals Pentacyclic triterpenoids.

Pharmacology )
A study was done to investigate excision wound healing activity of the leaf extract.
The studies demonstrated that Lantana camara is effective in healing excision wounds in the experimental
study and could be evaluated as a therapeutic agent in tissue repair processes associated with skin injuries.
The extract significantly enhanced the acceleration rate of wound enclosure.The translactone-containing triterpenes of this plant show thrombin inhibitory activity, act as anticoagulants (delaying blood clotting). A study showed the leaf extract of Lantana is cytotoxic in nature and may possess antitumor activity that may be due to the presence of toxic lantanoids and alkaloids. Lantana camara is used for the treatment of skin itches, as an antiseptic for wounds, and externally for leprosy and scabies. The objective of one study was to investigate excision wound healing activity of the leaf extract. Treatment of the wounds with extract enhanced significantly the rate of wound contraction (98%), synthesis of collagen and decreased mean wound healing time. The leaf extract containing flavonoids, may mediate the wound healing process. A current study revealed that methanolic extracts were suitable as topical application for wounds as indicated by the significantly faster rate of healing and reduced scarring at the wound enclosure. Histologically, there were also comparably fewer inflammatory cells, more angiogenesis and collagen fibers in the granulation tissue. The methanolic extract of Lantana camara leaves shown healing of gastric ulcers and also prevents development of duodenal ulcers in rats. Extracts of the fresh leaves are antibacterial and are traditionally used in Brazil as an antipyretic, carminative and in the treatment of respiratory system infections.
