Biosynthesized tea polyphenols showed antichlamydial activity against Chlamydia trachomatis D/UW-3/Cx and L2/434/Bu using cell culture. The most active compounds were (-)-epigallocatechin gallate and (-)-epicatechin gallate, followed by (-)-epicatechin (EC). (+)-Epicatechin and (-)-epigallocatechin were intermediate. EC was the least toxic. These results warrant evaluation of tea polyphenols as topical antichlamydial agents.
利用细胞培养技术,生物合成的茶多酚对沙眼衣原体D/UW-3/Cx和L2/434/Bu显示出抗衣原体活性。活性最强的化合物是(-)-表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯和(-)-表儿茶素没食子酸酯,其次是(-)-表儿茶素(EC)。(+)-表儿茶素和(-)-表没食子儿茶素活性中等。EC毒性最小。这些结果表明有必要对茶多酚作为局部抗衣原体药物进行评估。
