“…Wounds treated with quinones have been reported to exhibit high rate of epithelialization which may be applicable in this study. In addition, quinones and triterpenes have been reported to promote high deposition and crosslinking of collagen fibres by enhancing fibroblast migration and activities during wound healing as observed in this study (Ngameni et al, 2013;Tsala et al, 2013). The antagonistic effect of flavonoids in stimulating the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) may ensure that collagen deposition and crosslinking is not beyond the level found in uninjured tissues (Cho et al, 2010;Tsala et al, 2013).…”

“…Therefore, recent research has focused on the beneficial role of medicinal plants in order to ascertain effective and safe therapeutic strategies for the treatment of human diseases (Schulz, ). Nowadays, medicinal plants are known as an important source of bioactive natural products such as phenols and flavonoids (Ngameni et al ., ; Nabavi et al ., ; Russo et al ., ). In addition, there are various herbal formulates which possess beneficial effects on human health (Bhattacharya and Kumar, ; Biswas et al ., ; Saraf, ).…”

“…The propagation of bacterial MDR phenotypes is a great challenge for scientist for the discovery of novel antibacterial agents. The role of medicinal plants as sources of anti-infective compounds has been largely documented (Cowan 1999 ; Kuete 2013 ; Ndhlala et al 2013 ; Ngameni et al 2013 ). It was reported that up to 80 % of the world population rely on plants or derived products for their treatment (WHO 1993 ).…”
