Abstract
Syntheses are reported for metabolites M4 (1) and M6 (2) of the green tea polyphenols epicatechin (EC) and epigallocatechin (EGC) and their gallate derivatives. Several methoxy-derivatives of 1 and 2 were also prepared. Compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated for growth inhibitory activity against a panel of immortalized and malignant human cell lines with 1 being the more active compound. The possible antiinflammatory activity of 1 and its trimethoxy derivative was also evaluated. Neither compound inhibited the release of arachidonic acid, although 1 inhibited NO production by 50% at 20 microM.Entities:
