(-)-gallocatechin gallate is a gallate ester obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of gallic acid with the (3R)-hydroxy group of (-)-gallocatechin. A natural product found in found in green tea. It has a role as an EC 3.4.22.69 (SARS coronavirus main proteinase) inhibitor, a human xenobiotic metabolite, an antineoplastic agent and a plant metabolite. It is a gallate ester, a polyphenol and a catechin. It is functionally related to a (-)-gallocatechin and a gallic acid. It is an enantiomer of a (+)-gallocatechin gallate. (-)-Gallocatechin gallate is a natural product found in Senegalia catechu, Paeonia lactiflora, and other organisms with data available. Ent-gallocatechin 3-gallate, also known as (-)-gallocatechol gallic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as catechin gallates. Catechin gallates are organic compounds containing a gallate moiety glycosidically linked to a catechin. Ent-gallocatechin 3-gallate is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Ent-gallocatechin 3-gallate can be found in tea, which makes ent-gallocatechin 3-gallate a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. A gallate ester obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of gallic acid with the (3R)-hydroxy group of (-)-gallocatechin. A natural product found in found in green tea. (-)-Gallocatechin gallate is the polyphenol isolated from tea, with cancer-preventive activities. (-)-Gallocatechin gallate is the polyphenol isolated from tea, with cancer-preventive activities. (-)-Gallocatechin gallate is the polyphenol isolated from tea, with cancer-preventive activities. (-)-Gallocatechin gallate is the polyphenol isolated from tea, with cancer-preventive activities.
