Lipase and amylase inhibitory activities of black tea were examined. After solvent partitioning of a black tea extract with the ethyl acetate and n-butanol, the two soluble fractions showed comparable inhibitory activities. Activity in the ethyl acetate fraction was mainly attributable to polyphenols with low-molecular weights, such as theaflavin gallates. On the other hand, the active substance in the n-butanol layer was ascertained to be a polymer-like substance. 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra showed signals arising from the flavan A-ring and galloyl groups, although signals due to flavan B-rings were not detected, suggesting that the polymer-like substances were generated by oxidative condensation of flavan B-rings, a result which was previously deduced from our results of in vitro catechin oxidation experiments. Enzymatic oxidation of epicatechin 3-O-gallate produced a similar polymer-like substance and suggested that condensation between a B-ring and galloyl groups was involved in the polymerization reaction.
研究了红茶的脂肪酶和淀粉酶抑制活性。红茶提取物经乙酸乙酯和正丁醇溶剂分馏后,两种可溶性馏分显示出相当的抑制活性。乙酸乙酯馏分的活性主要归因于低分子量的茶多酚,如没食子酸茶黄素。另一方面,正丁醇层中的活性物质被确定为聚合物类物质。1H-NMR 和 13C-NMR 光谱显示了由黄烷 A 环和没食子酰基产生的信号,但没有检测到黄烷 B 环产生的信号,这表明聚合物样物质是由黄烷 B 环氧化缩合生成的,这一结果是我们之前根据儿茶素体外氧化实验结果推断出来的。表儿茶素 3-O-没食子酸酯的酶促氧化也产生了类似的聚合物样物质,这表明 B 环和没食子酰基之间的缩合参与了聚合反应。
