Tea catechins, an important class of polyphenols, have been shown to have antioxidant
activity and are thought to act as antioxidants in biological systems. However, the …

The green tea catechins (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and (−)-epigallocatechin
(EGC) react with peroxyl radicals generated by thermolysis of the azo initiator 2, 2 '-azobis …

(−)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), isolated from green tea, displays antioxidant properties
and is thought to act as an antioxidant in biological systems. However, the specific …

The antioxidative mechanisms of catechins were studied by investigating products
generated at the first stages by 2, 2′-azobis (2-aminopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH) …

Tea catechins, an important class of polyphenols, have been shown to have wide spectrum
of antitumor activity believed to be due mainly to their antioxidative effect. In this study, the …

(−)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and (−)-epigallocatechin (EGC) are two important
antioxidants in tea. They also display some antitumor activities, and these activities are …

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the free radical scavenging
activities and the chemical structures of tea catechins ((−)-epigallocatechin gallate …

Catechins, the major constituents of tea, have been shown to have powerful antioxidant and
antitumor activity. In this study, the radical scavenging behavior of catechins on 2, 2-diphenyl …

The reactivity profile of all the hydroxyl groups in (+)-catechin towards acylation and their
respective contribution to radical scavenging activity were systematically explored in this …

Catechins are a major group of polyphenolic compounds contained in abundance in green
tea. Using electron spin resonance spectroscopy along with a spin‐trapping agent, the …
