Abstract

(-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is one of the most important bioactive compounds in green tea, which has shown antitumor activity in various stages of tumor formation. Loading EGCG in nano-carriers is an effective technique to improve the stability and bioavailability of EGCG. Many studies had shown that various kinds of materials can be used for the preparation of nanoparticles as a EGCG nano-carrier, which significantly improved the biological activity of EGCG. The preparation methods, characteristics and the biological activity of EGCG nano-carrier were reviewed, and the improvement of effectiveness by EGCG nanoparticles formulation was also dicussed.
