(-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) is a major polyphenol found in green tea. It can inhibit cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis, and it inhibits glutamate dehydrogenase 1/2 (GDH1/2, GLUD1/2) activity. EGCG possesses potent anticancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties against various types of cancers such as colorectal cancer, myeloid leukemia, and thyroid carcinoma.
