(−)-Gallocatechin ((−)-GC) is an epimer of (−)-epigallocatechin ((−)-EGC; Item No. 11809). They are flavan-3-ols and members of the catechin family of polyphenolic antioxidants found in green tea and other plant extracts.{23119} Both (−)-GC and (−)-EGC are potent antioxidants and significantly inhibit the proliferation of HCT116 and SW480 cancer cells.{23115,27615,23119} (−)-GC also inhibits the aggregation of amyloid β peptide in vitro (IC50 = 17.5 µM).{27617} With increasing temperature, the steaming of green tea leaves results in the reduction of 2,3-cis isomers, like (−)-EGC, and an increase in 2,3-trans isomers, like (−)-GC.{27615,27616}
