| Application: | (−)-Gallocatechin has been used as a reference standard: • for the identification of phenolic compounds present in Pineapple (Ananas comosus) using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) • to evaluate the catechin profiles from Camellia sinensis green tea, white tea, and flower sample by high-performance liquid chromatography/photodiode array detection (RP-HPLC/PDAD) analysis • as a reference standard for the flavan-3-ols profiling muscadine grape hybrid varieties using high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | (−)-Gallocatechin (GC) exerts antioxidant properties by scavenging free radicals. It can also inhibit osteoclastgenesis. GC elicits antimutagenic activity in Escherichia coli against ultraviolet (UV)-induced mutation. It also displays an inhibitory effect on the growth and adherence of Porphyromonas gingivalis in the buccal epithelial cells. |
| General description: | (−)-Gallocatechin is a polyphenolic compound and one of the primary catechins present in green tea Camellia sinensis. |
| Other Notes: | Polyphenolic compound found in green tea. An epimer of (−)-epigallocatechin. |
