Modulation of neuronal activity by EGCG
Brain Research, 2005This study aims to investigate whether (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) affects neuronal activity of acutely isolated rat medial vestibular nuclear neurons in whole-cell configuration patch-clamp experiments. EGCG (0.5 and 1 muM) lowered the spontaneous firing rate and hyperpolarized the membrane potential of medial vestibular nuclear neurons ...

Therapeutic effects of EGCG: a patent review
Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Patents, 2016Green tea contains polyphenolic flavanoids such as epigallocatechin-3- gallate (EGCG), epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG), epigallocatechin (EGC) and epicatechin (EC). EGCG is the most abundant and active compound in green tea. Extensive research has shown that it has significant antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, anti-microbial, and neuroprotective properties ...

A receptor for green tea polyphenol EGCG
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2004The major polyphenol in green tea, (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), has been shown to prevent carcinogenesis. We have identified a receptor that mediates the anticancer activity of EGCG. Expression of the metastasis-associated 67-kDa laminin receptor confers EGCG responsiveness to cancer cells at physiologically relevant concentrations ...

In this study, EGCG loaded melanin-like nanoparticles (EGCG@MNPs) were incorporated into chitosan matrix to prepare an active nanocomposite food packaging film, chitosan-EGCG@MNPs (CH-EM). The influence of EGCG@MNPs on the physical and biological properties of the chitosan film was investigated.

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2019
In this study, a novel plant-protein-based nanoparticle delivery system was developed to encapsulate and stabilize curcumin and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) with different polarities. The strongly hydrophobic curcumin was embedded within the hydrophobic cores of zein nanoparticles using an antisolvent method, while the weakly hydrophobic EGCG was ...

Radiolabeling of EGCG with 131I and biodistribution in rats
Medicinal Chemistry Research, 2010Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), is the most abundant and widely studied catechin in green tea (Camellia sinensis Theaceae). The inhibitory effects of EGCG and green tea extract on carcinogenesis in various organs in rodents have now been demonstrated over the past decade.

Development of broccoli by-products as carriers for delivering EGCG
Food Chemistry, 2019Novel delivery systems for epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) were developed using broccoli by-products and their fractions as carriers. Puree and pomace from broccoli by-products had higher adsorption capacities for EGCG than juice at 25 °C (43.20 mg g-1, 39.47 mg g-1 and 25.22 mg g-1 dry weight for pomace, puree and juice respectively).

Cancer cell selective probe by mimicking EGCG
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2020Targeting proteins that are overexpressed in cancer cells is the major strategy of molecular imaging and drug delivery systems. The 67-kDa laminin receptor (67LR), also known as oncofetal antigen, is overexpressed in several types of cancer, including melanoma, multiple myeloma, cervical cancer and bile duct carcinoma. 67LR is involved in tumour growth,

The Epigenetic Modification of Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) on Cancer
Current Drug Targets, 2020: Among the major components of green tea, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the most effective for its anti-cancer characteristics. The bulk of studies provide the mechanisms of suppressive function of EGCG are involved in alteration of cancer cell cycle, development, and apoptosis through activation/inhibition of several signal pathways ...
