Catechin is a polyphenolic flavonoid that has been isolated from a variety of natural sources including tea leaves, grape seeds, and the wood and bark of trees such as acacia and mahogany.{7686,23117} Catechin is a more potent antioxidant than ascorbate or α-tocopherol in certain in vitro lipid peroxidation assays.{7582} (−)-Epicatechin is a 2R,3R stereoisomer of catechin. Like catechin, (−)-epicatechin is a powerful antioxidant.{23115} It inhibits cyclooxygenase 1 (IC50 = 3.2 μM).{15205} Also, at 100 µM, (−)-epicatechin induces apoptosis in human adenocarcinoma PC-9 cells and stimulates the inhibition of tumor necrosis factor-α release from BALB-c/3T3 cells treated with epigallocatechin gallate.{23116}
