Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tea catechins such as epicatechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin gallate and epigallocatechin gallate changes many metabolites including γ-valerolactone compounds through metabolic pathways in the human body. Fourteen of these γ-valerolactone metabolite analogues were synthesized as the optically active authentic standards and these activities are examined. Furthermore, we found out that the mixture of EGCG (flavan-3-ol) and its metabolite γ-valerolactone compounds inhibit proliferation of HL-60 cells, human promyelocytic leukemia cells.
