tcsc1258 (-) -Epigallocatechin Gallate

(-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate is an antioxidant polyphenol flavonoid form green tea, and inhibits the activation of EGFR, HER2 and HER3, with antitumor activity.

IC50 & Target: EGFR, HER2 and HER3^[1]

In Vitro: (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) inhibits activation EGFR, HER2 and HER3 in the SW837 human colon cancer cell line. (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (10 μM) also inhibits cell growth, suppresses activation of EGFR, HER2, and HER3, and causes decrease in the levels of COX-2 and Bcl-xL proteins, and apoptosis after treatment for 96 h^[1]. (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (0-35 μg/mL) inhibits the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells. (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (35 μg/mL) induces apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells^[2]. (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG; 50, 75 and 100 μM) dose-dependently inhibits the growth of HepG2 cells, and induces apoptosis in HepG2 cells^[3].

In Vivo: (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg, p.o.) inhibits the growth of orthotopic colorectal cancer cells in mice^[2].
