Methylation of tea catechins by rat liver homogenates

Methylation of (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECg), and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) was carried out with a rat liver homogenate and S-adenosyl-L-methionine. A structural analysis of the reaction products by MS and NMR showed that 4'-O-methyl EGC, 4"-O-methyl ECg, and 4"-O-methyl EGCg had been formed from EGC, ECg, and EGCg, respectively. These results suggest that methylation may be one of the metabolic pathways to the catechins.     

Potentiometric and (1)H NMR studies of complexation of Al(3+) with (-)-epigallocatechin gallate, a major active constituent of green tea.

The acid dissociation of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (abbreviated as egcg) and its complexation with Al(3+) were studied by potentiometric titrations, and were compared with those of (-)-epicatechin (ec) and (-)-epigallocatechin (egc). In Al(3+)-ec and Al(3+)-egc reaction systems, [Al(LH(-2))](+), [Al(LH(-2))(OH)](0), and [Al(LH(-2))(2)](-) are formed, as reported for Al(3+)-catechin (c). Reactions between Al(3+) and egcg at pH <4.1 yield AlLH(-2) and AlLH(-3) species. The 1H NMR studies have shown that two hydroxyl groups of the gallate (D) ring are deprotonated and coordinated to an Al(3+) ion in [Al(egcgH(-2))](+). The AlLH(-3) species of egcg is supposed to be formulated as [Al(egcgH(-3))](0) in which one hydroxyl group of the pyrogallol (B) ring and two hydroxyl groups of the D ring are deprotonated; an Al(3+) ion is coordinated to two oxygen atoms of the D ring and one oxygen atom from the B ring of the neighboring chelate molecule, resulting in the formation of a polymeric structure. In the Al(3+) complex of egcg, the gallate group forms major coordinate bonds and results in solution properties that are different from those of ec, egc and c which have no gallate group.     

Chemical constituents from the leaves of Crataegus pinnatifida Bge

The phytochemical investigations on the leaves of Crataegus pinnatifida led to the isolation of 20 compounds, including seven triterpenoids (1-7), three hydroxycinnamic acids (8-10), three lignans (11-13) and seven flavonoids (14-20). All chemical structures were established on the basis of NMR (1H NMR, 13C NMR) spectroscopic data. Meanwhile, compounds 3-12 are reported for the first time from Crataegus genus. In addition, compounds 10-11 are isolated from the family Rosaceae for the first time. On the basis of chemical research, the chemotaxonomic significance of the isolated compounds has been discussed.     

The Inhibition of α-Amylase by Tea Polyphenols

The inhibition of α-amylase from human saliva by polyphenolic components of tea and its specificity was investigated in vitro. Four kinds of green tea catechins, and their isomers and four kinds of their dimeric compounds (theaflavins) produced oxidatively during black tea production were isolated. They were (?)-epicatechin (EC), (?)-epigallocatechin (EGC), (?)-epicatechin gallate (ECg), (?)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), (?)-catechin (C), (?)-gallocatechin (GC), (?)-catechin gallate (Cg), (?)-gallocatechin gallate (GCg), theaflavin (TF1), theaflavin monogallates (TF2A and TF2B), and theaflavin digallate (TF3). Among the samples tested, EC, EGC, and their isomers did not have significant effects on the activity of α-amylase. All the other samples were potent inhibitors and the inhibitory effects were in the order of TF3>TF2A>TF2B>TFl>Cg> GCg > ECg > EGCg. The inhibitory patterns were noncompetitive except for TF3.     

Unusual naphthoquinones, catechin and triterpene from Byrsonima microphylla

The new triterpene Delta1-lupenone (1), together with lupeol, beta-amyrin and betulin were isolated from the wood of Byrsonima microphylla (Malpighiaceae). The new compounds 3-hydroxy-2-methoxy-8,8,10-trimethyl-8H-antracen-1,4,5-trione (2), 3,7-dihydroxy-2-methoxy-8,8,10-trimethyl-7,8-dihydro-6H-antracen-1,4,5-trione (3), (2S*,10aR*)-2,8-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-1,1,7-trimethyl-2,3,10, 10a-tetrahydro-1H-fenantren-9-one (4) and (2S,3S)-3'-hydroxy-4',5,7-trimethoxy-flavan-3-ol (5) were also isolated through monitored TLC using the antioxidant beta-carotene reagent. The antioxidant potential of the compounds 2-5 was measured and none of them showed activity. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by chemical and spectroscopic analysis based on NMR techniques (1H, 13C NMR, COSY, nOe difference, HMQC and HMBC), UV and MS.     

Characterization of di- and monosulfated, unsaturated heparin disaccharides with terminal N-sulfated 1,6-anhydro-beta-D-glucosamine or N-sulfated 1,6-anhydro-beta-D-mannosamine residues

Modified heparin disaccharides were obtained by the alkaline treatment of a solution containing the disulfated heparin disaccharide DeltaHexA-alpha-(1-->4)-D-GlcNSO(3),6SO(3). Their structures were characterized by one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy: DeltaHexA-alpha-(1-->4)-1,6-anhydro-GlcNSO(3), DeltaHexA-alpha-(1-->4)-1,6-anhydro-ManNSO(3) and DeltaHexA-alpha-(1-->4)-ManNSO(3),6OSO(3). NMR spectroscopy, in combination with HPLC, provided the composition of the mixture. Characteristic NMR signals of the disaccharides were identified, even at low levels, in a high field of (1)H-(13)C correlation NMR spectra (HSQC) of a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) obtained by beta-elimination (alkaline hydrolysis) of heparin benzyl ester, providing a more complete structural profile of this class of compounds.

Identification of a methylated tea catechin as an inhibitor of degranulation in human basophilic KU812 cells

We examined the constituents of tea that had an inhibitory effect on the degranulation process in the human basophilic cell line, KU812. Among the constituents purified from a extract of 'Benihomare' oolong tea by column chromatography, a methylated (-)-epigallocatechin gallate ((-)-epigallocatechin 3-O-(3-O-methyl) gallate) was found to inhibit the degranulation of KU812 cells that had been stimulated with calcium ionophore A23187. The inhibitory effect of this methylated (-)-epigallocatechin gallate on degranulation was greater than that of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate. This result indicates that methylation of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate may be an effective modification for the catechin to inhibit degranulation from human basophils.

The new compounds were identified as (2S*,3S*)-5-amino-3-hydroxy-5-oxopentan-2-yl 3-(formylamino)-2-hydroxybenzoate (1), N-[(3R*,4R*)-3-amino-3,4-dihydro-4-methyl-2,6-dioxo-2H,6H-1,5-benzodioxocin-10-yl]formamide (2), (5beta,6alpha)-6,11-dihydroxyeudesmane (3), and 5-(6,7-dihydroxy-6-methyloctyl)furan-2(5H)-one (4); the known compounds were elucidated as sorbicillin (5) and N-acetyltyramine (6).

Matrix metalloproteinase inhibition by green tea catechins

We have investigated the effects of different biologically active components from natural products, including green tea polyphenols (GTP), resveratrol, genistein and organosulfur compounds from garlic, on matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-9 and MMP-12 activities. GTP caused the strongest inhibition of the three enzymes, as measured by fluorescence assays using gelatin or elastin as substrates. The inhibition of MMP-2 and MMP-9 caused by GTP was confirmed by gelatin zymography and was observed for MMPs associated with both various rat tissues and human brain tumors (glioblastoma and pituitary tumors). The activities of MMPs were also measured in the presence of various catechins isolated from green tea including (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), (-)-epicatechin gallate(ECG), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), (-)-epicatechin (EC) and (+)-catechin (C). The most potent inhibitors of these activities, as measured by fluorescence and by gelatin or casein zymography, were EGCG and ECG. GTP and the different catechins had no effect on pancreatic elastase, suggesting that the effects of these molecules on MMP activities are specific. Furthermore, in vitro activation of proMMP-2 secreted from the glioblastomas cell line U-87 by the lectin concanavalin A was completely inhibited by GTP and specifically by EGCG. These results indicate that catechins from green tea inhibit MMP activities and proMMP-2 activation.
