Abstract
This review analyzes publications on the effect of hypoglycemic drugs on the wound healing process. Diabetes mellitus andobesity have a negative effect on wound repair processes, slowing down and disrupting their progression, which leads to the appearance of chronic non-healing wounds. The current understanding of the use of antidiabetic drugs is currently changingsignificantly. In addition to the main hypoglycemic effect, it is of interest to study the pleiotropic effects of both metformin, which has been used in clinical practice for more than 60 years, and more modern drugs from the SGLT-2 inhibitors, DPP-4 inhibitors groups, sulfonylureas, meglitinides, GLP-1 receptor agonists and the double GLP-1/GIP agonist tirzepatide. The anti-inflammatoryand reparative effects of these drugs are being investigated, the implementation of which in practice may open up new prospects inthe treatment of wounds. There have been accumulated studies in which the use of drugs of these groups demonstrated a positiveeffect on regenerative processes both in vitro and reduced the time and improved the quality of wound healing in vivo. Promisingareas of further research are determined by the authors to evaluate the effectiveness of using incretin-type drugs and topical forms of hypoglycemic drugs as wound healing agents, including for acute wounds not associated with metabolic disorders, as well as the safety of their use in humans, including with their neutral metabolic status.
