(-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate

Description: (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) is a phenolic antioxidant polyphenol flavonoid found in plants such as green and black tea, which inhibits telomerase and DNA methyltransferase, blocks the activation of EGF receptors and HER-2 receptors, inhibits cellular oxidation, and prevents free radical damage to cells. Target: HIV Protease, Mitochondrial Metabolism, Autophagy, Ferroptosis, Endogenous Metabolite, Reactive Oxygen Species. Smiles: O(C(=O)C1=CC(O)=C(O)C(O)=C1)[C@H]2[C@H](OC=3C(C2)=C(O)C=C(O)C3)C4=CC(O)=C(O)C(O)=C4. References: Wu D, et al.
