Eleven kinds of catechin metabolites produced from (−)-epigallocatechin (EGC) and (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) by intestinal microbiota were evaluated for inhibitory activity on the proliferation of HeLa cells, which are human cervical cancer cells. Among the catechin metabolites, 1-(3,4,5-trihydroxyphenyl)-3-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)propan-2-ol (EGC-M2), 4-hydroxy-5-(3,4,5-trihydroxyphenyl)valeric acid (EGC-M7), and 5-(3,4,5-trihydroxyphenyl)valeric acid (EGC-M9) were found to show inhibitory activity on HeLa cell proliferation as compared with control. The results suggested that three adjacent hydroxyl groups in the phenyl moiety may play an important role in the inhibitory activity. In addition, the inhibitory activity was also examined with four (−)-epicatechin (EC) metabolites possessing two adjacent hydroxyl groups in the phenyl moiety. Only 5-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)valeric acid (EC-M9) showed inhibitory activity and therefore valeric acid moiety likely contributes to the inhibitory activity. EGC-M9 showed the strongest inhibitory activity with IC50 of 5.58 µM. Thus, in this study it was found for the first time that several catechin metabolites derived from EGC, EGCg, and EC inhibit the proliferation of cervical cancer cells.
由肠道微生物群产生的(-)-表没食子儿茶素(EGC)和(-)-没食子儿茶素(EGCg)的11种儿茶素代谢物被评估为抑制HeLa细胞增殖的活性,HeLa细胞是人宫颈癌细胞。在儿茶素代谢物中,1-(3,4,5-三羟基苯基)-3-(2,4,6-三羟基苯基)丙烷-2-醇(EGC-M2)、4-羟基-5-(3,4,5-三羟基苯基)戊酸(EGC-M7)和5-(3,4,5-三羟基苯基)戊酸(EGC-M9)被发现对HeLa细胞增殖有抑制活性,与对照组相比较。结果表明,苯环上的三个相邻羟基可能对抑制活性起重要作用。此外,用四种具有苯环上两个相邻羟基的(-)-表儿茶素(EC)代谢物检测抑制活性。只有5-(3,4-二羟基苯基)戊酸(EC-M9)显示抑制活性,因此戊酸部分可能对抑制活性有贡献。EGC-M9显示出最强的抑制活性,IC50为5.58µM。因此,在本研究中首次发现由EGC、EGCg和EC衍生的几种儿茶素代谢物抑制宫颈癌细胞增殖。
