(Rac)-EGC-M5
(Rac)-EGC-M5 is an orally active metabolite of green tea Catechin (EGC) (HY-N0898). (Rac)-EGC-M5 enhances the activity of CD4+ T cells. (Rac)-EGC-M5 boosts the cytotoxic activity of NK cells in vivo. (Rac)-EGC-M5 can be used in cancer-related research.

Biological Activity
(Rac)-EGC-M5 (10 μM; 72 h) significantly increases relative ATP levels in isolated mouse splenic CD4+ T cells after 72 h incubation, enhancing CD4+ T cell activation[1].
(Rac)-EGC-M5 (5-50 μM; 72 h) significantly upregulates PHA-induced IFN-γ production in isolated mouse splenocytes, while having no significant effect on PHA-induced IL-2 levels[1].
