General description

(−)-Gallocatechin gallate is a polyphenolic compound having a galloyl moiety. It is an epimerized form of epigallocatechin gallate, which is common tea catechin. Epimerization of tea catechins is common upon heat treatment or pasteurization process.

Application

(−)-Gallocatechin gallate has been used:

to perform the tannase activity assay of the recombinant Lactobacillus plantarum tannase enzyme
to study its inhibitory effects on HIV-1 integrase activity
to study its regulatory mechanism on cholesterol metabolism in rat liver
to analyze its effect as a polyphenol on human spermatozoa and their application in assisted reproductive technology
to study the interference in stress protective activity of cellular prion protein (PrP^C) and the formation of scrapie prion protein (PrP^Sc)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tea catechins like (−)-Gallocatechin gallate are known to have antiviral, antioxidative, antimutagenic and antiobesity activities. It exhibits human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) integrase inhibitory activity by disturbing the interaction between the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) integrase and virus DNA. GCG also shows impeding effect on the release of vero toxins (VTs) by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli. It displays an inhibitory effect on cholesterol absorption and is reported to be more effective than tea catechins in lowering plasma cholesterol, thus preventing atherosclerosis.

How to Find a Lot/Batch Number for COA

Lot and Batch Numbers can be found on a product's label following the words 'Lot' or 'Batch'.

Aldrich Products

For a lot number such as TO09019TO, enter it as 09019TO (without the first two letters 'TO').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as 05427ES-021, enter it as 05427ES (without the filling-code '-021').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as STBB0728K9, enter it as STBB0728 without the filling-code 'K9'.

Not Finding What You Are Looking For?

In some cases, a COA may not be available online. If your search was unable to find the COA you can request one.

A hallmark in prion diseases is the conformational transition of the cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) into a pathogenic conformation, designated scrapie prion protein (PrP(Sc)), which is the essential constituent of infectious prions. Here, we show that epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and

Heat-epimerized tea catechins rich in gallocatechin gallate and catechin gallate are more effective to inhibit cholesterol absorption than tea catechins rich in epigallocatechin gallate and epicatechin gallate.

It has been known that tea catechins, (-)-epicatechin (1), (-)-epigallocatechin (2), (-)-epicatechin gallate (3), and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (4) are epimerized to(-)-catechin (5), (-)-gallocatechin (6), (-)-catechin gallate (7), and (-)-gallocatechin gallate (8), respectively, during retort pasteurization. We previously reported that tea

GCG-rich tea catechins are effective in lowering cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in hyperlipidemic rats.

The (-)-gallocatechin gallate (GCG) concentration in some tea beverages can account for as much as 50% of the total catechins, as a result of sterilization. The present study aims to examine the effects of GCG-rich tea catechins on hyperlipidemic rats

We studied the effects of six catechin derivatives (catechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) and gallocatechin gallate (GCg)) in green tea on the production and extracellular release of Vero toxins (VTs) from enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) cultured at

Four catechins with the galloyl moiety, including catechin gallate (CG), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), gallocatechin gallate (GCG), and epicatechin gallate (ECG), were found to inhibit HIV-1 integrase effectively as determined by our ELISA method. In our docking study, it is proposed
