Mechanisms and Therapeutic Roles of Medicinal Plants in Skin Photoaging
Open accessAbstract
Photoaging refers to the cumulative skin damage primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This process results in the harmful effects of UV irradiation on skin cells, leading to alterations in the extracellular matrix, which consequently impacts the appearance and function of the skin. This review aims to elucidate how bioactive compounds from medicinal plants counteract UV-induced damage, as identified by current mechanistic and molecular studies. Over the past few decades, medicinal plants have garnered increasing attention for their potential therapeutic benefits in treating various human diseases. Numerous studies have explored the anti-photoaging properties of herbal remedies, revealing that various active compounds, extracts, and combinations of medicinal plants can mitigate photoaging in different skin cells through diverse signaling pathways. Compared to synthetic agents, herbal remedies offer lower toxicity profiles and are often perceived as safer alternatives, making them attractive options for long-term skin care and photoaging prevention. These findings suggest that herbal plants can reduce UV-induced skin damage primarily by inhibiting the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and inflammatory mediators, while simultaneously promoting collagen synthesis. The underlying mechanisms of these effects are associated with key cellular pathways, including MAPK, NF-κB, Nrf2, and TGF-β/Smad. These findings suggest that herbal plants can reduce UV-induced skin damage by inhibiting reactive oxygen species (ROS), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and inflammatory mediators, while promoting collagen synthesis. This review provides novel insight into cell-specific mechanisms by which medicinal plants mitigate photoaging, laying the groundwork for their potential therapeutic application.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
