Free radicals in cigarette smoke such as tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide can cause various damages to the lung organs due to oxidative stress caused by the reaction of ultrafine particles with cells. A total of 27 mice were taken from the Biochemical Laboratory of Airlangga University, Surabaya. In this study mice (Mus muscullus) were exposed to kretek cigarette smoke in the smoking chamber for 15 minutes in a period of 2 weeks, used 2 variants of antioxidant doses of green tea infusion of 0.45 gr to 0.6 gr. After the treatment was completed, the preparation of the mice's pulmonary organ preparations and damage to the structure of the lung organ were observed in 9 visual fields. The results showed that there was a relationship between the amount of cigarette smoke exposed and damage to the lung organs of mice when given antioxidant green tea. The administration of green tea antioxidants reduced inflammation of the lung organ infiltration of inflammatory cells by 44%, edema by 55%, and destruction of septa alveoli by 88%. gans due to oxidative stress caused by the reaction of ultrafine particles with cells.

Background: Tea (Camellia sinensis, Theaceae) is the second most consumed beverage in the world. Green tea is the least processed and thus contain rich antioxidant level, and believed to have most of the health benefits. </p><p> Methods: We commenced to search bibliographic collection of peer reviewed research articles and review articles to meet the objective of this study. </p><p> Results: From this study, we found that the tea beverage contains catechins are believed to have a wide range of health benefits which includes neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-parasitic effects. The four major catechin compounds of green tea are epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and epicatechin gallate (ECG), of which EGCG is the major constituent and representing 50-80% of the total catechin content. And also contain xanthine derivatives such as caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine, and the glutamide derivative theanine. It also contains many nutritional components, such as vitamin E, vitamin C, fluoride, and potassium. We sum up the various green tea phytoconstituents, extraction methods, and its medicinal applications. </p><p> Conclusion: In this review article, we have summarized the pharmacological importance of green tea catechin which includes antioxidant potential, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, antidiabetic and cosmetic application.
