Additionally, we compared the flavonoid content and stability of the extracts in cream formulations. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Creams containing 30% ethanol extracts of papaya leaf, fruit, and seeds were prepared and applied to the backs of male Wistar rats for two weeks. The wound diameter, epithelial thickness, fibroblast count, macrophage count, collagen density, and VEGF expression were measured after two weeks. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Our findings revealed no significant differences between the effects of the papaya leaf, fruit, and seed ethanol extracts on wound diameter, epithelial thickness, fibroblast count, macrophage count, and collagen density (p &amp;gt; 0.05). There were also no significant differences when compared to the negative control group (p &amp;gt; 0.05). The highest flavonoid content was found in the ethanol extract of papaya leaves. Application of the ethanol extract creams of leaf, fruit, and seeds had a significant effect on angiogenesis, as evidenced by VEGF expression (p = 0.002).&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Papaya leaf, fruit, and seed extracts are promising products for wound healing. Further research is recommended to conduct periodic histopathological examinations during the wound healing process and to explore different extract concentrations for optimal results.&lt;/p&gt;

This study aimed to evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of &lt;em&gt;Coffea arabica&lt;/em&gt; extract in male Wistar rats induced with CCl₄ through phytochemical analysis, liver biochemical parameters (albumin, bilirubin, SGOT, SGPT), inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, CRP), and liver morphology observations using ultrasonography and histopathology. The extract contained alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenoids, saponins, and glycosides, with total phenolic and flavonoid contents of 51.32 mg GAE/g and 1.25 mg QE/g extract, respectively, and moderate antioxidant activity (IC₅₀ = 124.36 ppm). Administration of the extract at 300 mg/kg BW significantly improved liver structure, reduced TNF-α (120.62 ± 21.78 pg/mL), IL-6 (68 ± 14.44 pg/mL), CRP (199.0 ± 41.5 pg/mL), SGOT (147.0 ± 34.28 g/dL), and SGPT (69.6 ± 9.94 g/dL) levels, while increasing albumin (2.94 ± 0.34 g/dL) and reducing bilirubin (0.09 ± 0.04 mg/dL), approaching normal conditions. The 300 mg/kg BW dose showed the most optimal protective effect compared to other treatment groups, as evidenced by improvements in biochemical parameters, liver morphology, and hepatic histology, indicating that &lt;em&gt;Coffea arabica&lt;/em&gt; extract has strong potential as an effective hepatoprotective agent against CCl₄-induced liver damage&lt;/p&gt;
