Evaluation Of Wound Healing Activity Of Epigallocatechin Gallate Of Green Tea

Abstract

Epigallocatechin Gallate was evaluated for antioxidant and wound healing activities. Phytochemicals are the secondary metabolites, synthesized in plants to protect themselves. They include alkaloids, cyanogenic glycosides, terpenes, steroids, saponins, flavonoids, tannins, phenylpropanoids, etc. EGCG inhibits the synthesis of free radicals and also reduces inflammation. Furthermore, EGCG suppresses the expression of the EGF receptor, interrupting the epithelialisation process.
