Description

Catechin is a polyphenolic flavonoid which has been isolated from a variety of natural sources including tea leaves, grape seeds, and the wood and bark of trees such as acacia and mahogany. Catechin is a more potent antioxidant than ascorbate or α-tocopherol in certain in vitro assays of lipid peroxidation.¹ Catechin inhibits the free radical-induced oxidation of isolated LDL by AAPH.² It has also been reported to act as an inhibitor of COX-1 with an IC₅₀ of about 80 µM.³ Catechin and other related procyanidin compounds have antitumor activity when tested in a two-stage mouse epidermal carcinoma model employing topical application.¹
