Epigallocatechin gallate

Description:

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a polyphenolic compound primarily found in green tea, known for its antioxidant properties. It belongs to the flavonoid class of compounds and is a type of catechin. EGCG is characterized by its ability to scavenge free radicals, which contributes to its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and cardiovascular protective effects. The compound has a molecular formula of C22H18O11 and features multiple hydroxyl groups, which enhance its reactivity and solubility in water. EGCG is often studied for its role in metabolic health, weight management, and its potential to improve brain function. Additionally, it has been investigated for its effects on various diseases, including diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders. Due to its bioactive properties, EGCG is commonly available as a dietary supplement and is a subject of research in pharmacology and nutrition. However, its efficacy and safety in high doses require further investigation to fully understand its therapeutic potential.
