In silico based Diabetic Wound Healer from Nature: An Update

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease of high levels of glucose in the blood and affecting 536.6 million people in the world between the age group of 20-79 with management spent of 11% of the total worldwide. Wound healing in diabetics is impaired due to many factors like high blood sugar, poor blood circulation, damaged blood vessels, diabetic neuropathy, decreased immune responses etc. The presently used synthetic drugs have high costs, a toxic nature, and are full of adverse effects drawing attention to the need to identify new and successful treatment approaches for diabetic wounds. <i>In silico</i> drug screening methods of drug development made it easy to screen thousands of active constituents against a target specifically responsible for diabetes and wound healing. Thus the current review compiled the naturally available active compounds screened by <i>in silico</i> docking from natural resources and has the potential to treat diabetic wound healing with their specificity and target-based mechanism. This information will be helpful for further screening of non-reported natural compounds having antidiabetic as well as wound healing potential.
