Description générale

(−)-Epicatechin gallate is one of the major polyphenols present in green tea. It belongs to the catechin gallates group of organic compounds. ECG has a chemical structure like that of (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the other major polyphenol found in green tea.

Application

(−)-Epicatechin gallate has been used:
  • in cell proliferation assays on the human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMVECs) to understand its effectiveness against anti-ischemic/reperfusion injury
  • as an inhibitor in Human Salivary α-Amylase (HAS) and α-Glucosidase (AGH) in inhibition assays
  • may be used as a cancer chemopreventive polyphenol in two human colorectal cell lines HCT-116 and SW-480
  • as an inhibitor to in vitro collagenase and elastase enzymes
  • as a supplement in spermatozoa incubation to check its effectiveness against oxidative stress

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

(−)-Epicatechin gallate (ECG), a potent free-radical scavenger has an inhibitory effect on collagenase and elastase enzymes making it an anti-aging agent. It displays antiproliferative effects on human colorectal cells and hence is a chemo-preventative agent. It influences cell survival, preventing apoptosis or autophagy by promoting cell proliferation in oxygen-glucose deprived human brain microvascular endothelial cells. Being structurally and functionally similar to EGCG, ECG might be involved in balancing the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathways in endoplasmic reticulum stress. It prevents cell death in this scenario by showing resistance against oxygen-deprived cells. ECG may contribute in preventing oxidative stress. It effectively inhibits secretory sphingomyelinase in many disease states and provides protection for human spermatozoa in Assisted reproductive technology (ART).

Current work investigated the ability of different tea (green, oolong and black teas) in inhibiting human salivary alpha-amylase (HSA) and mammalian alpha-glucosidase (AGH). The inhibitory profiles were correlated to their major polyphenol content (theaflavins and catechins). The fully fermented black

Sphingomyelinases (SMases) are key enzymes involved in many diseases which are caused by oxidative stress, such as atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and Alzheimer's disease. SMases hydrolyze sphingomyelin to generate ceramide, a well-known pro-apoptotic lipid. SMases are classified
