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
摘要 (-)-表没食子儿茶素和其他 28 种植物黄酮类化合物对 HeLa 细胞的细胞毒活性进行了测试。黄酮和黄烷酮具有活性,几种具有平面和非平面环系统的化合物显示出高细胞毒活性。虽然没有推断出明确的结构活性关系,但 A- 和 B- 环上的羟基对细胞毒性效力产生正面或负面影响,具体取决于取代位置。胸苷的摄取主要受杨梅素的抑制,而尿苷的摄取受(-)-表没食子儿茶素的抑制;7,8-二羟基黄酮抑制胸苷和尿苷的摄取。
