(+)-CATECHIN HYDRATE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

(+)-Catechin hydrate can be used:

• As an inhibitor of steel corrosion in hydrochloric acid solution.
• As a model compound in the study of antimicrobial activities of flavonoids on Escherichia coli.
• As a starting material for the synthesis of catechin glucosides of biological importance.

Uses

(+)-Catechin hydrate has been used:

• as a polyphenol standard in the determination of total polyphenols in the by-products of red wine
• as an additive to study its effects on in vitro methane production and substrate degradation in a triple-fed batch approach
• as a substrate to determine the activity of pure L. plantarum CECT 748T 14 recombinant tannase on catechin

Definition

ChEBI: (+)-catechin monohydrate is the monohydrate of (+)-catechin. It has a role as a geroprotector. It contains a (+)-catechin.

General Description

Catechin hydrate is a polyphenolic flavonoid that exhibits antioxidant properties. It is commonly found in green tea, grape seeds, and bark of few trees like acacia and mahogany.

Biochem/physiol Actions

An antioxidant flavonoid of plant origin; a free radical scavenger, preventing free radical-mediated damage in a variety of biological systems. For example, at physiological pH catechin suppressed DNA strand breaks by hydroxyl radicals. It has also been shown to prevent human plasma oxidation. It delayed the consumption of endogenous lipid-soluble antioxidants and inhibited lipid oxidation. Catechin may also function as an inhibitor of fatty acid synthase.
