4"-C18 EGCG

4"-C18 EGCG is an effective inhibitor of α-amylase and α-glucosidase, with IC50 values of 3.74 μM and 0.81 μM respectively. It inhibits carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, and demonstrates anti-diabetic activity. Additionally, 4"-C18 EGCG downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines and exhibits cytotoxicity at 50 μM in primary human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and non-cancerous cell lines 3T3-L1 and HEK 293.
