(±) -Catechin
(±) -Catechin (rel-Cianidanol) is the racemate of the green tea polyphenol Catechin. Catechin has anticancer activity and induces apoptosis. (±) -Catechin has two forms, (+) -Catechin and its enantiomer (-) -Catechin. (+) -Catechin inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) with an IC50 of 1.4 μM. (-) -Catechin can effectively promote hBM-MSC adipocyte differentiation and increase adiponectin and PPARγ levels. (±) -Catechin has anti-tumor, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, anti-cardiovascular, anti-infectious, hepatoprotective and neuroprotective effects[1][2][3].
