Bioactivity | (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) is a major polyphenol in green tea, which can inhibit cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis. (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate inhibits glutamate dehydrogenase 1/2 (GDH1/2, GLUD1/2) activity. (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate has a potent anticancer, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties against various types of cancers such as colorectal cancer, myeloid leukemia, thyroid carcinoma[1][2][3][4]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG, 10-60 μM) inhibits the growth of FB-2 and WRO cells in a dose-dependent manner[1].(-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (10-60 μM, 0-24 h) reduces cyclin D1 and phosphorylation of AKT and ERK1/2, and increases p21 and p53 expression[1].(-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (10-60 μM, 12 h) reduces cell motility and migration[1].(-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (0-20 μM, 0-20 min approximately) inhibits GLUD1/2 and IDH1 activity in a concentration and time-dependent way (biochemical assays)[2].(-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (0-35 μg/mL, 24-72 h) inhibits the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells (LoVo, SW480, HT-29, HCT-8 cells), increases cell apoptosis and blocks cells at the G0/G1 phase[3].(-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (30 μM, 3-24 h) suppresses the expression of COX-2 and mPGES-1 mRNAs, prostaglandin E2 production in LPS-induced osteoblasts[4].
