Antibacterial activity of epigallocatechin gallate against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
The antibacterial activity of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), a catechin, against 53 clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was evaluated and expressed as minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). The MIC50 and MIC90 of the strains were found be 64 and 126 micrograms/ml, respectively by the microdilution method. A time-kill study using an isolate showed that EGCg...
متن کاملPotential neuroprotective properties of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)
Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) enforce an overwhelming social and economic burden on society. They are primarily characterized through the accumulation of modified proteins, which further trigger biological responses such as inflammation, oxidative stress, excitotoxicity and modulation of signalling pathways. In a hope for cure, these di...
متن کاملAnticancer activities of epigallocatechin-3-gallate against cholangiocarcinoma cells
PURPOSE Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is an antioxidant agent derived from green tea. Because it has chemopreventive and anti-invasive effect against various cancer cells, EGCG can be used to inhibit proliferation and invasion of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) cells. METHODS The anticancer effects of EGCG were studied using human CCA cells (HuCC-T1). Apoptosis was analyzed by Western blotting. ...
متن کاملIn Vitro Antifungal Activity of Epigallocatechin 3-O-Gallate against Clinical Isolates of Dermatophytes
Previously, we reported that epigallocatechin 3-O-gallate (EGCg) has growth-inhibitory effect on clinical isolates of Candida species. In this study, we investigated the antifungal activity of EGCg and antifungal agents against thirty-five of dermatophytes clinically isolated by the international guidelines (M38-A2). All isolates exhibited good susceptibility to EGCg (MIC₅₀, 2-4 μg/mL, MIC₉₀, 4...
متن کاملEpigallocatechin gallate synergistically enhances the activity of carbapenems against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Combinations of carbapenems and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg; a main constituent of tea catechins) showed potent synergy against 24 clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). MICs of imipenem in the presence of EGCg at 3.125, 6.25, 12.5, and 25 microg/ml, were restored to the susceptible breakpoint (< or =4 microg/ml) for 8, 38, 46, and 75% of the MRSA isolates, ...
