Previous studies in the literature detail the effects of natural products sequestered from medicinal plants used for the purpose of skin regeneration, particularly in burn wound healing (41–43). In the present study, the burn wound healing properties of AE and MA were assessed using in vitro and in vivo experimental techniques. Cytotoxic assays confirmed the nontoxic nature of AE and MA ≤500 ppm, however, the compounds displayed greater levels of toxicity at 1,000 ppm. The mechanisms underlying the action of AE and MA include the induction of collagen type I synthesis in human fibroblast cells of dermal origin through the phosphorylation of Smad 2 and Smad 3, and also fixation of Smad 3 onto Smad 4 (44). Studies have demonstrated the ability of AE to induce type I collagen by activating tumor formation via transforming growth factor β receptor I kinase-independent Smad pathway
