(−)-EGCG, the most abundant catechin, was found to be chemopreventive and anticancer agent. However, (−)-EGCG has at least one limitation: it gives poor bioavailability. This invention provides compounds of generally formulae below, wherein R11, R12, R13, R21, R22, R2, R3, and R4 are each independently selected from the group consisting of —H, and C1 to C10 acyloxyl group; and R5 is selected from the group consisting of —H, C1-C10-alkyl, C2-C10-alkenyl, C2-C10-alkynyl, C3-C7-cycloalkyl, phenyl, benzyl and C3-C7-cycloalkenyl, whereas each of the last mentioned 7 groups can be substituted with any combination of one to six halogen atoms; at least one of R11, R12, R13, R21, R22, R2, R3 and R4 is —H, which were found to be more potent than their non-protected counterparts, which can be used as proteasome inhibitors to reduce tumor cell growth.
(-)-EGCG是最丰富的儿茶素之一,具有化学预防和抗癌作用。然而,(-)-EGCG至少存在一个限制:其生物利用度较低。本发明提供了通式如下的化合物,其中R11、R12、R13、R21、R22、R2、R3和R4各自独立地选自由—H和C1到C10的酰氧基团组成的群体;而R5选自由—H、C1-C10-烷基、C2-C10-烯基、C2-C10-炔基、C3-C7-环烷基、苯基、苄基和C3-C7-环烯基组成的群体,其中最后提到的7个基团中的每一个都可以用任意组合的1到6个卤素原子替代;R11、R12、R13、R21、R22、R2、R3和R4中至少有一个为—H,这些化合物比其非保护的对应物更有效,可用作蛋白酶体抑制剂来减少肿瘤细胞生长。
