gallocatechin

(-)-Gallocatechin gallate ((-)-gallocatechin-3-O-gallate) is the polyphenol isolated from tea, with cancer-preventive activities. (-)-Gallocatechin gallate decreases osteoclastogenesis at 20 microM.

(+)-Gallocatechin (Gallocatechol) possesses free radical scavenging ability. (+)-Gallocatechin has moderate affinity to the human cannabinoid receptor.

(-)-Gallocatechin ((−)-GC) has free radical scavenging ability and moderate affinity to the human cannabinoid receptor.

Gallocatechin gallate has strong antioxidative, and anti-obesity activities, it inhibits 3T3-L1 differentiation and lipopolysaccharide induced inflammation through MAPK and NF-κB signaling; it also may have anti-diabetic effects by increasing sensitivity

(-)-Epigallocatechin, the predominant flavonoid in green tea, possesses the unique ability to attach to unfolded native polypeptides, thereby inhibiting their transformation into amyloid fibrils.

(-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) is an antioxidant polyphenol flavonoid that inhibits telomerase and DNA methyltransferase. (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) blocks the activation of EGF receptors and HER-2 receptors. (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) is a phenolic antioxidant found in a number of plants such as green and black tea. It inhibits cellular oxidation and prevents free radical damage to cells.

(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-(3''-O-methyl) gallate ((-)-EGCG-3''-O-ME) is a natural product isolated from tea leaves with strong antioxidant, cytotoxic and antibacterial activity, which enhances the adhesive stability of etching rinsing adhesives to dentin.
