Green Tea Extracts Epigallocatechin-3-gallate for Different Treatments

Abstract

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a component extracted from green tea, has been proved to have multiple effects on human pathological and physiological processes, and its mechanisms are discrepant in cancer, vascularity, bone regeneration, and nervous system. Although there are multiple benefits associated with EGCG, more and more challenges are still needed to get through. For example, EGCG shows low bioactivity via oral administration. This review focuses on effects of EGCG, including anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticollagenase, and antifibrosis effects, to express the potential of EGCG and necessity of further studies in this field.

Quorum Sensing: A Prospective Therapeutic Target for Bacterial Diseases

“…Another study has confirmed the synergistic effects of curcumin, gentamicin, and azithromycin on Pseudomonas aeruginosa; that is, the expressions of virulence genes were significantly downregulated by the combining use of curcumin together with gentamicin or azithromycin, and the therapeutic doses of gentamicin and azithromycin were minimized by curcumin supplementation [112]. The anti-QS compounds, such as gallocatechin 3-gallate and caffeic acid, enhanced therapeutic effects on Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection by combining use with tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, or gentamicin [113,114]. N-(2-pyrimidyl) butylamine was confirmed to enhance the antibacterial effect of tobramycin, colistin, and ciprofloxacin on Pseudomonas aeruginosa [115].…”

Increased Phenolic Compounds in Potato Chips Vacuum Impregnated with Green Tea

“…Green tea extract is comprised of 30% (dry weight) of flavanols compounds made of unit monomers called catechins (Namal, 2013). It provides many health benefits such as anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticollagenase, and antifibrosis effects (Chu, Deng, Man, & Qu, 2017). Green tea extract could be transferred into the potato tissue using vacuum impregnation (VI) techniques (Fito, Chiralt, Betoret, & Gras, 2001).…”

Impact of Different Antioxidants on the Bond Strength of Resin-based Composite on Bleached Enamel—An In Vitro Study

“…Green tea additionally contains proanthocyanidin; therefore, demonstrating better oxygen scavenging ability than proanthocyanidin alone. 19 Khamverdi et al (2016) observed better bond strength values with Proanthocyanidin in comparison to Green tea. The probable reason for disagreement is the bleaching agent used was of different concentration (40% H 2 O 2 ) and for different application time.…”
