In hyperglycemic rats with delayed healing, PL 14736 produced a dose-dependent acceleration of wound healing, equivalent at the highest doses to becaplermin.
In plain wordsIn rats with high blood sugar, PL 14736 gel sped up wound healing, as much as becaplermin at the highest doses.

While healing was too rapid in healthy rats to observe enhancement by either treatment, in the hyperglycemic rats which exhibited delayed healing, PL 14736 (10-1,000 microg/wound) produced a dose-dependent acceleration of wound healing (determined by macroscopic scoring) equivalent at the highest do…

To investigate its possible benefit in poorly healing skin wounds, the effects of the topical application of PL 14736 in a gel formulation have been studied on full-thickness excisional wounds in rats, either healthy or made hyperglycemic by alloxan (175 mg/kg s.c.) 5 days previously.
