The application discloses an EGCG-nicotinic acid co-
crystal as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
drug co-crystals. The method comprises the following steps: EGCG and nicotinic acid are mixed according to a
molar ratio of 1-5:1-5, and are ground; or, EGCG and nicotinic acid are mixed according to a
molar ratio of 1-5:1-5, and are then dissolved by using water, water is removed, and
grinding is performed; or, EGCG and nicotinic acid are mixed according to a
molar ratio of 1-5:1-5, are then dissolved by using water, are frozen, water is removed, and
grinding is performed; or, EGCG and nicotinic acid are mixed according to a molar ratio of 1-5:1-5, and an EGCG-nicotinic acid co-
crystal is obtained. The EGCG-nicotinic acid co-
crystal prepared by the application has significantly improved
tyrosinase inhibition performance,
antioxidant performance, antibacterial performance and transdermal rate; and the problem of low stability and low water
solubility of EGCG in the prior art is solved.
