Studies in Polyphenol Chemistry and Bioactivity. 1. Preparation of Building Blocks from (+)-Catechin. Procyanidin Formation. Synthesis of the Cancer Cell Growth Inhibitor, 3-O-Galloyl-(2R,3R)-epicatechin-4β,8-[3-O-galloyl-(2R,3R)-epicatechin]

open access: yes, 2016
A project has been initiated to synthesize proanthocyanidin oligomers found in cocoa. Natural, readily available (+)-catechin was transformed into 5,7,3‘,4‘-tetra-O-benzyl-(−)-epicatechin (14) by (a) benzylation of the phenolic oxygens; (b) oxidation of ...

Stabilization Strategies for Catechins and Epicatechins: Recent Advances

open access: yesFood Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Oxidation, epimerization, polymerization, and hydrolysis, driven by heat, pH, and oxygen, are pathways. Nano‐/microencapsulation maintains integrity with 70%–95% efficiency; biopolymer nanoparticles, starch/polysaccharide nanocarriers improve stability and dispersion. Lipid nanocarriers enhance bioavailability but raise oxidation risk.

PXR is a target of (-)-epicatechin in skeletal muscle [PDF]

open access: yesHeliyon, 2020
(-)-Epicatechin (EC) is a flavanol that has shown numerous biological effects such as: decrease risk of cardiovascular dysfunction, metabolism regulation, skeletal muscle (SkM) performance improvement and SkM cells differentiation induction, among others. The described EC acceptor/receptor molecules do not explain the EC's effect on SkM. We hypothesize
