Epicatechin (EC)-based derivatives have garnered significant attention for their powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antibacterial properties, all of which are attributed to the phenolic hydroxyl groups in structure. These compounds promising regenerative medicine, particularly as bioactive components scaffolds. This review provides an in-depth analysis mechanisms by EC-based materials enhance tissue repair, examining application various scaffold forms, such hydrogels, nanoparticles, nanofibers. study also addresses challenges stability bioavailability associated with ECs proposes encapsulation techniques overcome these barriers. The potential clinical benefits medicine role fostering advancements engineering discussed, making this a valuable resource guiding future studies on integration into practice.
