The partially purified catechin fraction isolated from green tea extract was treated with a variety of acylating agents (acyl anhydrides/chloride) to obtain (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) O-acyl derivatives in 20-25.4% yields. The (-)-EGCG O-acyl derivatives were characterized by physical data and spectral studies. These compounds were evaluated for their antitumor activity by use of a two-stage carcinogenesis model in 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)/12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA)--induced cancer in Swiss albino mice. The study showed that there was a significant decrease in the antitumor activity with the increase in size and branching of the chain length of acyl groups. The results indicated that these O-acyl derivatives of (-)-EGCG have the potential to be developed as cancer chemopreventive agents.

从绿茶提取物中分离得到的部分纯化儿茶素组分,用多种酰化剂(酸酐/酰氯)处理,以20 - 25.4%的产率获得(-)-表没食子儿茶素-3-没食子酸酯(EGCG)的O-酰基衍生物。通过物理数据和光谱研究对(-)-EGCG的O-酰基衍生物进行了表征。利用二阶段致癌模型,在7,12-二甲基苯并[a]蒽(DMBA)/12-O-十四酰佛波醇-13-乙酸酯(TPA)诱导的瑞士白化小鼠癌症中,对这些化合物的抗肿瘤活性进行了评估。研究表明,随着酰基链长度的增加和支化程度的增大,抗肿瘤活性显著降低。结果表明,这些(-)-EGCG的O-酰基衍生物有潜力被开发为癌症化学预防剂。
