Quercetin-Loaded Biocomposites for Wound Healing Applications
February 2024
TLDR Quercetin can help heal wounds better if its skin absorption is improved.
The document discusses the potential of quercetin (Que), a flavonoid with strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and anti-microbial properties, in enhancing wound healing and skin care. Despite its benefits, quercetin's poor solubility limits its skin penetration. The paper reviews various formulations and composite strategies developed to improve quercetin's cutaneous penetration, detailing the mechanisms of wound healing and the therapeutic performance of quercetin at each stage. Additionally, it explores different drug delivery approaches to enhance the transdermal penetration of quercetin.
