| Density: | 1.9g/cm3 |
| Stability: | Stable, but may be light sensitive. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. |
| Solubility: | Slightly soluble |
| Appearance: | Solid |
| Specification: |
?(-)-Epigallocatechin gallate , its cas register number is 989-51-5. It also can be called Epigallocatechin-3-gallate ; EGCG cpd ; and Epigallocatechin gallate . It is the most abundant catechin in most notably tea. It is found in green tea but not black tea, as EGCG is converted into thearubigins in black teas. |
| Usage: | (-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (CAS NO.989-51-5) has been used for a tumor-inhibiting constituent of green tea for altering the cleavage of amyloid precursor protein, decreasing production of amaloid- and amaloid plaques in mice. |
