Differential in vitro cytotoxicity of (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECG) to cancer and normal cells from the human oral cavity.

Only registered users can translate articles

This study evaluated the biologic activity of epicatechin gallate (ECG), a polyphenol in tea, to carcinoma HSC-2 cells and normal HGF-2 fibroblasts cells from the human oral cavity. The relative cytotoxicity of ECG, as compared to five other polyphenols in tea, was evaluated. For the HSC-2 carcinoma

Tas2r125 functions as the main receptor for detecting bitterness of tea catechins in the oral cavity of mice.

We attempted to identify mouse bitter taste receptors, Tas2rs, that respond to tea catechins. Among representative tea catechins, avoidance behavior of mice to (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECg) was the strongest, followed by (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg). Therefore, we measured ECg response using

Diastereomeric difference of inclusion modes between (-)-epicatechin gallate, (-)-epigallocatechin gallate and (+)-gallocatechin gallate, with beta-cyclodextrin in aqueous solvent.

Inclusion complexes of (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECg) as well as (+)-gallocatechin gallate (GCg) and beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) in an aqueous solution were investigated using several NMR techniques and a computational method. ECg and EGCg formed a 1:1 complex with beta-CD, in which the A ring and a

Enhancement of antioxidant activity of green tea epicatechins in β-cyclodextrin cavity: Single-crystal X-ray analysis, DFT calculation and DPPH assay.

Green tea catechins are potent antioxidant for prevention of various free radical-related diseases. Their antioxidant properties can be improved by encapsulation in cyclodextrins (CDs). Four inclusion complexes of β-CD with (-)-epicatechin (EC), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), (-)-epicatechin gallate

Tea catechins reduce inflammatory reactions via mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways in toll-like receptor 2 ligand-stimulated dental pulp cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE In this study, we evaluated whether catechins could inhibit the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators induced by dental caries-related bacteria, Streptococci, or pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) stimulation in human dental pulp fibroblasts (HDPF). We further determined the

A comparative reverse docking strategy to identify potential antineoplastic targets of tea functional components and binding mode.

Only registered users can translate articles

The main functional components of green tea, such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG) and epicatechin (EC), are found to have a broad antineoplastic activity. The discovery of their targets plays an important role in revealing the antineoplastic

Oral interactions between a green tea flavanol extract and red wine anthocyanin extract using a new cell-based model: insights on the effect of different oral epithelia

Only registered users can translate articles

Phenolic compounds (PC) are linked to astringency sensation. Astringency studies typically use simple models, with pure PC and/or proteins, far from what is likely to occur in the oral cavity. Different oral models have been developed here, comprising different oral epithelia (buccal mucosa (TR146)

Evaluation inhibitory activity of catechins on trypsin by capillary electrophoresis-based immobilized enzyme microreactor with chromogenic substrate

Only registered users can translate articles

In this study, a capillary electrophoresis-based online immobilized enzyme microreactor was developed for evaluating the inhibitory activity of green tea catechins and tea polyphenol extracts on trypsin. The immobilized trypsin activity and other kinetic parameters were evaluated by measuring the

In vitro cytotoxicity of (-)-catechin gallate, a minor polyphenol in green tea.

Only registered users can translate articles

The cytotoxicity of (-)-catechin gallate (CG), a minor polyphenolic constituent in green tea, towards cells derived from tissues of the human oral cavity was studied. The sequence of sensitivity to CG was: immortalized epithelioid gingival S-G cells>tongue squamous carcinoma CAL27 cells>salivary

Novel inhibitors complexed with glutamate dehydrogenase: allosteric regulation by control of protein dynamics.

Only registered users can translate articles

Mammalian glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) is a homohexameric enzyme that catalyzes the reversible oxidative deamination of l-glutamate to 2-oxoglutarate using NAD(P)(+) as coenzyme. Unlike its counterparts from other animal kingdoms, mammalian GDH is regulated by a host of ligands. The recently

Catechin inhibition of influenza neuraminidase and its molecular basis with mass spectrometry.

Only registered users can translate articles

The molecular basis for the antiviral inhibitory properties of three catechins epigallocatechin gallate, epicatechin gallate and catechin-5-gallate derived from green tea was assessed in terms of their ability to interact with influenza neuraminidase. This was investigated using a molecular based

Anticaries effects of polyphenolic compounds from Japanese green tea.

Only registered users can translate articles

The dental caries inhibiting effect of the extract from Japanese green tea, one of the most popular drinks in Japan, was studied both in vitro and in vivo. The crude tea polyphenolic compounds (designated Sunphenon) from the leaf of Camellia sinensis were found to effectively inhibit the attachment

Antimicrobial properties of green tea catechins.

Only registered users can translate articles

Extracts of leaves from the tea plant Camellia sinensis contain polyphenolic components with activity against a wide spectrum of microbes. Studies conducted over the last 20 years have shown that the green tea polyphenolic catechins, in particular (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) and
