Comparison of a natural topical formulation versus an iodine antiseptic for treating naturally occurring canine wounds, with chemical profiling and antimicrobial docking analysis.

A comparative study of wound healing kinetics, efficacy, and profiling of VG111 in canine wounds
Key Takeaways
  • Topical VG111 achieved complete wound healing by day 25, versus up to day 50 with povidone-iodine.
  • Concurrent systemic cefotaxime modestly delayed healing when added to the topical formulation.
  • GC-MS found 41 VG111 constituents and docking suggested activity against GyrA, SrtA, and LasR.
