unshiu homogenate gave two new compounds, including an ethanol adduct of an oolongtheanin precursor and epigallocatechin 4′-O-rutinoside, together with theasinensin C, dehydrotheasinensin E, and desgalloyl oolongtheanin. The structure of desgalloyl oolongtheanin should be revised based on the spectroscopic and computational data collected in the current study, and a mechanism responsible for the production of oolongtheanins is also proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
