theaflavin-3-gallate

Theaflavin-3-gallate (Theaflavine-3-Gallate) can play a role in decreased intestinal cholesterol absorption via inhibition of micelle formation. Theaflavin-3-gallate has anticancer and apoptotic effects in non-small cell lung carcinoma, it acts as prooxidants and induce oxidative stress, with carcinoma cells more sensitive than normal fibroblasts.

Theaflavin-3'-Gallate (Theaflavin 2B) usually comes from the leaves of Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze. Theaflavin-3'-gallate, act as prooxidants and induce oxidative stress, with carcinoma cells more sensitive than normal fibroblasts.

Theaflavin 3,3'-digallate, a major polyphenol found in black tea, is an inducer of oxidative stress which has anti-inflammatory and cancer chemopreventive actions, it reduces tumor angiogenesis by downregulating HIF-1αand VEGF.
