Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Dermatology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Triterpenes are natural compounds with known pharmacological effects.
  • Wound healing is a complex biological process involving multiple cellular and molecular mechanisms.
  • The therapeutic potential of triterpenes in wound management requires systematic evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the existing literature on the efficacy of triterpenes for wound healing.
  • To identify the mechanisms by which triterpenes may influence tissue repair.
  • To highlight gaps in current research regarding triterpene use in wound care.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was conducted in Medline, SCIDIRECT, and LILACS databases (1910-2013).
  • Original studies were screened by two independent reviewers based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.
  • 12 studies met the criteria for further review.

Main Results:

  • Triterpenes reduced wound closure time across various wound types, particularly surgical wounds.
  • Triterpenes modulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, promoting tissue repair.
  • Evidence suggests triterpenes may enhance cell migration, proliferation, and collagen deposition.

Conclusions:

  • Triterpenes demonstrate significant potential for promoting wound healing.
  • Further research is needed to understand triterpene effects on key healing cells like keratinocytes and fibroblasts.
  • Toxicological assessments are crucial before therapeutic application of triterpenes for skin injuries.
