Description
A natural component of green tea with a variety of biological functions:
- Bocks the activation of EGF receptors and HER-2 receptors
- Inhibits fatty acid synthase and glutamate dehydrogenase activity
- Inhibits the peroxynitrite-induced formation of the oxidative injury markers 8-hydroxy-2-deoxy guanosine and 3-nitrotyrosine, apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells
- Selectively inhibits activation of JNK/SAPK signaling pathway and suppresses proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells
- Shows growth inhibitory effects on tumor cells but not their normal counterparts
- Inhibits telomerase, a fast-binding and reversible fatty acid synthase inhibitor
- Inhibits PMA-induced skin thickening
- Inhibits activation of interleukin-1a mRNA and protein expression
- Inhibits nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expression
- At μM concentrations, inhibits VEGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation
