Abstract

Abstract: EGCG, which is the most abundant catechin in tea, has been demonstrated to possess a wide range of biochemical and pharmacological activities. Recent investigations have revealed that EGCG functions as a pro-oxidant. In this review, we discussed the pro-oxidative mechanism of EGCG in cell culture. Auto-oxidation of EGCG, influenced by the media types, dose- and time-dependent of EGCG addition, contents of serum and pH value etc., forms environmental oxidative stress in cell medium. Furthermore, EGCG produce intracellular ROS and mtROS, and trigger the Fenton reaction to create OH^- indirectly. In particular, pro-oxidation of EGCG regulate intracellular transcription factors, signalling pathways, and cell surface receptor to exert many biological actions in cell.

Key words: EGCG, pro-oxidative, cell, biological activity, auto-oxidation, reactive oxidative species
