Abstract:
Wound healing is a complex process of tissue repair consists of four stages: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. These stages are influenced by different chemicals so that the use of natural products containing many lead compounds is important to be considered. In the plant-derived natural products there is a variety of useful chemicals for wound healing process such as: antioxidants, antimicrobials, anti-inflammatory agents, and enhancers for re-epithelialization and collagen formation. That’s the reason why research on the discovery of new wound drugs from natural products, including in Indonesia, keeps increasing. This review paper presents the results of research on the potential of plants in Indonesia that can be developed into wound healing drugs that have been published in the last 10 years.
