Indian-Born American Researcher To Introduce Speedy Wound-Healing Products In India
Zaveri will also distribute 20,000 tubes of the ointment among the underprivileged sections here.
The secret to the wound-healing formula is a peptide (ACT-1) composed of a series of 28 building blocks or amino acids. Zaveri claims her find can heal wounds faster, is easy-to-use and also has no side effects.
“It took me 20 years to find the 28 amino acid long peptide. It is in the first stage of clinical trials in the US. It hasn’t got the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration yet.
“It does angiogenesis (forms new blood vessels) at the wound site and we have not found any residues in the stomach or blood circulation,” she explained, adding it was meant for application on clean wounds.
According to Anjan Adhikari of R.G. Kar’s department of pharmacology, who is heading the mice studies, the results so far are “promising”.
“We have been doing the trials for three months and the results are promising. However, once the trials are complete, we will have to get regulatory permission and then we can go ahead with human trials,” Adhikari told IANS.
