绿茶EGCG防癌作用的分子靶点

doi:10.13305/j.cnki.jts.2010.06.002

Abstract

Abstract: (-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the most active and major polyphenolic compound in green tea. The molecular mechanisms and targets on the action of EGCG have been extensively investigated. This paper reviewed some of the reported mechanisms and possible targets for the action of EGCG, and strategies for cancer chemoprevention by EGCG in clinical trials were discussed. It provides a new inspiration for cancer chemoprevention.

Key words: EGCG, cancer chemoprevention, molecular mechanisms, molecular targets
