Polyphenon 60 from green tea (CAS 138988-88-2)
QUICK LINKS
Polyphenon 60 from green tea is a mixture of catechins, including epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), and epicatechin (EC). It functions as a potent antioxidant, effectively scavenging free radicals and reducing oxidative stress in experimental models. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting the activity of reactive oxygen species and modulating cellular signaling pathways involved in oxidative damage. Polyphenon 60 also demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties by suppressing the production of pro-inflammatory mediators and cytokines. It may interfere with the growth and proliferation of cancer cells by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting angiogenesis. At the molecular level, Polyphenon 60 interacts with various enzymes and transcription factors, influencing gene expression and cellular processes related to oxidative stress and inflammation.
