Biological Activity

(-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) inhibits activation EGFR, HER2 and HER3 in the SW837 human colon cancer cell line. (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (10 μM) also inhibits cell growth, suppresses activation of EGFR, HER2, and HER3, and causes decrease in the levels of COX-2 and Bcl-xL proteins, and apoptosis after treatment for 96 h. In vivo, (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg, p.o.) inhibits the growth of orthotopic colorectal cancer cells in mice.

Cell Experiment
Cell lines 786-O cells and ACHN cells (human renal cell carcinoma cell lines)
Preparation method Cell lines 786-O and ACHN were plated into 96-well plates at a density of 2×10⁴ cells/well in RPMI 1640 culture medium and incubated at 37°C for 24 h. Subsequent to treatment with EGCG at various concentrations (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 60 µg/ml) for 12, 24 and 48 h, the cells were incubated with 20 µl MTT (5 mg/ml) at 37°C for 4 h. Following this, the medium was removed and 150 µl dimethyl sulfoxide was added to each well for 10 min at room temperature to solubilize the crystals. Finally, cell proliferation was determined by absorbance measurements at 490 nm on a Model 680 microplate reader. Cell viability was expressed as a percentage of the absorbance obtained for the control group. A minimum of three independent experiments were performed.
