Nagaland University (NU) researchers have identified a naturally-occurring plant compound called ‘Sinapic acid’ as a powerful therapeutic agent capable of significantly accelerating wound healing in diabetic conditions.

  The discovery marks a major advancement that could result in safe, natural, and effective treatments for diabetic wound management. This is the first study globally to demonstrate that Sinapic acid, when administered orally, can accelerate diabetic wound healing in preclinical models.

The multidisciplinary study involved collaboration between experts from Nagaland University and Lovely Professional University (LPU), Punjab, combining expertise in biotechnology, pharmacology, biochemistry, and medical laboratory sciences.

The Research was led by Prof. Pranav Kumar Prabhakar from Department of Biotechnology, School of Engineering and Technology, NU, and included Rupal Dubey, Sourbh Suren Garg, Navneet Khurana and Jeena Gupta from LPU.
