    - The leaf is used in India as a fish-poison and vermicide . The leaf is used in India as a fish-
    poison and vermicide (8). The leaves are used in various preparations for treating cancerous
    tumours in many parts of the world (4, 7). They are applied as a poultice to children with
    dyspepsia (6), and are boiled and applied to abscesses in India and Java, on insect-bites in India
    and skin-complaints in Java (1). . An unidentified alkaloid is recorded in the leaf (9) and also a

    ABSTRACT
    . The leaves of Annona squamosa (Linn.) were
    exhaustively extracted by soxhlet apparatus with different solvents like petroleum ether, solvent
    ether,
    chloroform, alcohol and chloroform water in ascending order of the polarity. All the five extracts
    were
    subjected to antibacterial screening by using the cup plate method. The petroleum ether,
    alcoholic and
    chloroform water extract showed maximum zone of inhibition. So these extracts were taken for
    wound
    healing activity. The petroleum ether extracts of Annona squamosa at a dose of 300 mg/kg b.w.
    (orally) in
    all models showed significant results. The percentage contraction of wound are at 18 th day, was
    found to
    be (91.12±0.62, P < 0.05) in excision wound model, wound breaking strength (299.83 ± 5.446
    grams, P <
    0.05) in incision wound model, granuloma breaking strength (378.56 ± 5.520, P < 0.05) in
    granuloma
    studies. All the results were significant for different parameters in wound healing activity when
    compared
    with control group. Presence of sterols, flavonoids, tannins in various extracts was also
    confirmed by
    preliminary phytochemical investigation, TLC and HPTLC methods -
