    TLDR Plant-based compounds can improve wound dressings and skin medication delivery.
    The document "From Plants to Wound Dressing and Transdermal Delivery of Bioactive Compounds" discusses the use of plant-derived compounds in the development of transdermal delivery devices and wound dressing materials. The aim is to enhance the beneficial effects, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and cost-effectiveness of these systems. The paper highlights the use of primary and secondary metabolites from plants, including amino acids, organic acids, unsaturated fatty acids, and plant mucilages, in these medical devices. It also discusses the use of plant-derived gums, plant cell wall components, and secondary metabolites in wound dressing and transdermal drug delivery systems. The document further discusses the use of various plant-derived compounds in transdermal treatments for various ailments, including skin diseases, memory impairment diseases, inflammation, cardiovascular diseases, and alopecia. The paper concludes that with the advent of new separation and preparation technologies, high purity and nanosized drugs can be produced, paving the way for the development of new delivery vectors and effective treatment systems.
