L-Epicatechin Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

(−)-Epicatechin is a polyketide synthase-derived polyphenol flavonoid that has been found in T. cacao and has diverse biological activities. It scavenges DPPH radicals in a cell-free assay when used at a concentration of 5 μM. (−)-Epicatechin inhibits COX-1 (IC50 = 3.2 μM). It acts synergistically with epigallocatechin gallate to induce apoptosis in, and reduce the proliferation of, PC-9 lung cancer cells when used at a concentration of 200 μM. (−)-Epicatechin (80 mg/kg) reduces LPS-induced increases in plasma creatinine and urea levels in a rat model of renal inflammation.

Chemical Properties

white to light yellow crystal powde

Uses

Potent antioxidant and antineoplastic agent.

Uses

Catechin is a polyphenolic flavonoid that has been isolated from a variety of natural sources including tea leaves, grape seeds, and the wood and bark of trees such as acacia and mahogany. Catechin is a more potent antioxidant than ascorbate or α-tocopherol in certain in vitro lipid peroxidation assays. (?)-Epicatechin is a 2R,3R stereoisomer of catechin. Like catechin, (?)-epicatechin is a powerful antioxidant. It inhibits cyclooxygenase 1 (IC50 = 3.2 μM). Also, at 100 μM, (?)-epicatechin induces apoptosis in human adenocarcinoma PC-9 cells and stimulates the inhibition of tumor necrosis factor-α release from BALB-c/3T3 cells treated with epigallocatechin gallate.

Uses

An antioxidant and natural product from green tea

Definition

ChEBI: A catechin with (2R,3R)-configuration.

General Description

(?)-Epicatechin (EC) belongs to the group of flavanols and is abundantly present in cacao and cacao products. The chemical structure of EC includes an oxygenated heterocycle with a 4-hydroxyl group linked with two aromatic rings.

Biochem/physiol Actions

This antioxidant is found in chocolate. (-)-Epicatechin is linked with cardiovascular effects. It is considered as a dependable standard due to its availability in cacao seeds and cocoa products. The halogenating activity of myeloperoxidase can be restored by (-)-epicatechin.
