Unveiling the Therapeutic Potential of Clitoria guianensis (Aubl.) Benth var. Guianensis: A Comprehensive Review of its Anti -Inflammatory and wound healing properties
Introduction: This article proposes a comprehensive systematic review to analyze the potential of Clitoria guianensis as an anti-inflammatory and wound healing agent. The emphasis on diversifying research methods aims to deepen understanding of its medicinal properties, especially in the context of anti-inflammatory and wound healing activities. The plant, belonging to the genus Clitoria and native to Brazil, is recognized for its aphrodisiac properties and is used as a sexual stimulant, tonic, and energizer. Studies highlight the presence of bioactive compounds, such as isoflavones, which contribute to its medicinal properties. Methodology: The study was based on the Systematic Literature Review Protocol (SLRP), establishing a framework for comprehensively reviewing scientific literature. The objective was to identify the medicinal properties of C. guianensis in Brazil, focusing on its potential anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties. Results: The results of this scientific review aim to substantiate the consideration of C. guianensis as a potentially beneficial plant in tissue regeneration processes. Although not directly addressing wound healing, it is suggested that its antiinflammatory properties and modulation of the immune response may positively influence these processes. Discussion: Systematic analysis provides a critical and comprehensive insight into the medicinal properties of C. guianensis, contributing to the understanding of its antiinflammatory and wound healing potential. A diversified approach, integrating in vivo, in vitro, and in silico data, is essential for understanding its potential in clinical practice. Conclusion: This study, by conducting a systematic review of scientific literature, explored evidence related to the antiinflammatory and wound healing potential of C. guianensis. Practical implications confirm the medicinal and pharmacochemical properties of this medicinal plant, revealing its chemical and therapeutic richness, and highlighting the importance of further studies. Thus, this work establishes a solid foundation for future research, advancing the understanding and therapeutic application of C. guianensis in medicine.
