Advance of chemistry and bioactivities of catechin and its analo gues

儿茶素类化合物种类繁多、分布广泛 ,具有明显的清除体内自由基、抗癌、抗炎、抗突变、抗衰老及改善肝功能等生物活性。近年来绿茶中的儿茶素类化合物 (GTC)更是引起了国内外学者的普遍关注 ,具有较好的应用前景。作者对儿茶素类化合物的种类、波谱特征。

Catechin and its analogues are varied and di stributed widely. They have significant bioactivity on clearing free radical, a nti-cancer, anti-flammatory, anti-allergic, anti-mutation, anti-aging, impr oving liver function, and so on. Recently, catechins (GTC) in green tea have giv en rise to comprehensive attention all over the world, and will have a wonderful prospect. The progress in studies of the structures, spectrum characters, resou rces and bioactivities of catechin and its analogues has been reviewed. [
