Abstract

Theaflavin digallate was purified by Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Its anticancer activity and mechanism were analyzed on H1299 and HCT-116 cancer cell lines. Results from MTT assay showed that Theaflavin digallate could inhibit the growth of H1299, and its IC50 value is 25μmol/L. Theaflavin digallate could slightly adjust the cell cycle of HCT-116 cancer cell, and significantly promote the apoptosis of HCT-116 cancer cell at 50μmol/L. Theaflavin digallagte could decrease the expression of cancer-promoting biomarker, Bcl-xL, and increase the expression of cancer-inhibiting biomarker, Bax, on HCT-116 cancer cell line.
