Beneficial Effects of Green Tea EGCG on Skin Wound Healing: A Comprehensive Review

“…Hence, various types of wound dressings have been developed for topical treatments [ 16 , 17 ]. Except for the native form of EGCG used in many studies [ 13 , 18 ], EGCG can also be incorporated into different types of wound dressings, such as hydrogels [ 19 , 20 ], nanoparticles [ 21 , 22 ] and electrospun fibers [ 23 ], in order to retain its biofunctionalities and integrate it with the surrounding host tissues [ 24 ]. Figure 1 shows the basic application forms of EGCG to skin wound healing.…”

“…EGCG showed an inhibitory efficacy towards thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase in Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli , leading to the suppressed growth of these pathogens [ 96 ]. The antibacterial activity of EGCG-containing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) against Staphylococcus aureus , Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli was reported, which was attributed to the morphological deformations of bacteria due to the surface interaction with AuNPs [ 21 ]. A sandwiched dressing containing gelatin/chitosan/EGCG nanoparticles showed the antimicrobial property against Escherichia coli , Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus [ 36 ].…”

Tea polyphenol carrier-enhanced dexamethasone nanomedicines for inflammation-targeted treatment of rheumatoid arthritis

“…This is in agreement with the results reported previously. 40,52 The cytotoxicity of EGCG to HUVEC also showed dose-dependence (Fig. 2(b)).…”
