Quercetin shows promise for eczemaAntioxidant Activity of Quercetin-Containing Liposomes-in-Gel and Its Effect on Prevention and Treatment of Cutaneous Eczema.
Direct focus on quercetin's effects
We investigated the potential of quercetin, a natural compound known for its antioxidant properties, in treating cutaneous eczema. Specifically, we prepared a special formulation of quercetin contained within liposomes and mixed it into a gel. This method aimed to enhance the compound's effectiveness in promoting skin healing.
Our findings revealed that this quercetin-infused gel not only demonstrated significant antioxidant activity but also improved skin conditions in mice suffering from eczema. The application of this formulation led to noteworthy reductions in various symptoms associated with the skin condition, such as inflammation and epidermal peeling.
In comparison to a commonly used eczema treatment, we found that the quercetin formulation outperformed the commercially available steroid cream in reducing malondialdehyde levels, a marker of oxidative stress in the body. These results suggest that quercetin-containing liposomes hold promise as a novel approach for preventing and treating cutaneous eczema.
