Abstract
⺠Green tea catechins are known to have medicinal anti-inflammatory and antioxidative functions. ⺠Orally administrated catechins are metabolized in body, leading to low bioavailability. ⺠This paper presents in vitro and in vivo permeation of catechins through the skin. ⺠Catechin-loaded cellulose membrane grafted with PEG-PCL shows increased bioavailability. ⺠The amphiphilic PEG-PCL can modify the permeation flux of cellulose membrane for catechins.
