Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the hemostatic activity of the sap from (Pohl) Baill. in rats.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four Wistar rats were randomized into four groups ( = 6): the JM25 and JM40 groups were treated with ethanolic extract from the sap of , in a concentration of 25 and 40 mg·mL, respectively; the MO group was treated with Monsel's solution and the control group SC with a 0.9% sodium chloride solution.
Statistical Analysis: Data were submitted to the Kurskal-Wallis' test, followed by Dunn's post hoc ( < 0.05).
Results: There was a significant reduction in the bleeding time of the group from the JM25 extract ( = 0.001) when compared with MO and SC. There were no statistically significant differences between groups JM25 and JM40 ( > 0.05). The JM25 group did not present rebleeding, a result significantly different from the MO group ( = 0.001). Monsel's solution showed significant bleeding, six times greater than the control group SC.
Conclusion: The extract, in the concentration of 25 mg·mL, showed the highest hemostatic efficiency and was found to be a promising biomaterial for the elaboration of a hemostatic product.
