Descripción

(-)-Epicatechin is a natural compound that has a number of biological activities, including hypoglycemic effects and antioxidant properties. (-)-Epicatechin has been shown to have procyanidin-like effects in vitro and in vivo, which may be due to the inhibition of the conversion of epicatechin into procyanidin B2 by catalysis. (-)-Epicatechin is metabolized via β-oxidation and conjugation with glucuronic acid. The metabolic products are then excreted either unchanged or as p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHBA) metabolites in the urine. (-)-Epicatechin can also be found in high concentrations in some fruits, such as cocoa beans and red wine. (-)-Epicatechin is used for analytical purposes to determine the content of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHBA). It can also be used for determining the presence of opportunistic fungal infections (e.g., candid
