Chemical Structure
(-)-Epigallocatechin-4'-O-methylether
Synonym(s): (-)-EGC-4'-O-ME
- CAS No.: 17291-05-3
- Formula:C16H16O7
- Molecular Weight:320.30
IUPAC Name: (2R,3R)-2-(3,5-dihydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)chromane-3,5,7-triol
InChIKey: ITDYPNOEEHONAH-UKRRQHHQSA-N
SMILES: O[C@H]1[C@H](OC=2C(C1)=C(O)C=C(O)C2)C3=CC(O)=C(OC)C(O)=C3
Biological Activity: (-)-Epigallocatechin-4'-O-methylether ((-)-EGC-4'-O-ME) is an orally active natural phenolic catechin with antioxidant, free radical-scavenging and hepatoprotective activities. (-)-Epigallocatechin-4'-O-methylether interferes with radiation-induced free radical formation, scavenges DPPH free radicals, inhibits carbon tetrachloride-induced increases in serum GOT and GPT, suppresses carbon tetrachloride-induced TBA-RS formation, and counteracts carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatocyte toxicity. (-)-Epigallocatechin-4'-O-methylether binds specifically to human serum albumin. (-)-Epigallocatechin-4'-O-methylether can be used in studies related to liver injury[1][2][3][4].
