white powder | [Uses]
A natural constituent of green tea. It is an antioxidant and a potential cancer chemopreventive agent. An epimer of (-)-Gallocatechin (G188990). | [Uses]
antineoplastic | [Definition]
ChEBI: (-)-epigallocatechin is a flavan-3,3',4',5,5',7-hexol having (2R,3R)-configuration. It has a role as an antioxidant, a plant metabolite and a food component. It is a flavan-3,3',4',5,5',7-hexol and a catechin. It is an enantiomer of a (+)-epigallocatechin. | [General Description]
(?)-Epigallocatechin (EGC) belongs to the tea catechins group of polyphenols. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Green tea polyphenol. Anticancer agent. Lower antioxidant activity than EGCG. | [storage]
Store at -20°C |
