Enhancement of Antioxidant Activity in O/W Emulsion and Cholesterol-Reducing Capacity of Epigallocatechin by Derivatization with Representative Phytosterols
摘要:
In this study, derivatization of epigallocatechin (EGC) by representative phytosterols (stigmasterol and beta-sitosterol) was performed employing Steglich esterification. The structural identity and purity of epigallocatechin beta-sitosterol (ESi) and epigallocatechin stigmasterol (ESt) were confirmed by NMR, FT-IR, and HPLC-MS. Further evaluation of ESi and ESt revealed their extraordinary antioxidant activities in O/W emulsion. Two different radical sources in oil or aqueous phase were applied to explore the antioxidant behavior in O/W emulsion. The mechanism was further investigated by fluorescent microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Furthermore, incorporation of EGC with stigmasterol and beta-sitosterol notably enhanced the cholesterol-reducing activity. TEM studies suggested the hydrogen bonding of EGC strengthened the aggregation network of ESi and ESt in the bile salt micelle. The exceptional properties of ESi and ESt signified their intriguing utilization in the food industry.

Abstract (-)-Epigallocatechin and 28 other plantflavonoids were tested for cytotoxic activity againstHeLacells. Flavones and flavanones were active and several compounds with planar and non-planar ring systems showed high cytotoxic activities. Although no clear structure activity relationship was deduced, hydroxyl groups on the A- and B- ring affected the cytotoxic potency positively or negatively, depending
