(-) -Epicatechin gallate
(-) -Epicatechin gallate is a catechin isomer and potent antioxidant known to modulate membrane protein function. Its bilayer-modifying effects, studied using gramicidin A channels as probes, are linked to its gallate moiety, which can induce transient channel block. This compound is utilized in research on oxidative stress, membrane biophysics, and nutraceutical studies in both cellular and animal models.
