Review Article: Biological activities of chlorophyll derivatives. Chernomorsky, S. Segelman, A. 1988. Vol85, 8:669-673.
The authors review the anti-inflammatory, wound healing and odor
reducing capabilities of chlorophyllin. Chlorophyllin has
bacteriostatic properties aiding in wound healing, and stimulates the
production of hemoglobin and erythrocytes in anemic animals. It has
been used to treat various kinds of skin lesions, burns and ulcers
where it acts as a wound healing agent, stimulating granulation tissue
and epithelization. In some cases chronic ulcers failed to respond but
use of novel preparations has aided in these cases. The mode of action
is not well understood but the authors suggest it may involve the
formation of complexes with proteins. Treatment with chlorophyll has
been neglected in the past few decades as the use of steroids and
antimicrobial products became more prevalent. New areas of application
are suggested.
