چکیده
Antimicrobial and antitumor activities of Camellia sinensis L seed extracts were investigated. Seed extracts showed antifungal activities against Candida albicans IFO 1594 and Cryptococcus neoformans. Inhibition zone of 20 mm was shown by 70% ethanol extract against C. albicans IFO 1594 at 100 mg/mL. Antifungal activity of seed extract was not decreased by heating at 80 and 100C for 30 min or at 121C for 15 min, indicating heatstability of seed component. Growth-inhibitory effects were observed in 70 and 10% of tumor cell line SK-OV3 and normal cell line NIH/3T3 at 50 μg/mL, respectively.

Extracts of tea (Camellia sinensis) can reverse methicillin resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and also, to some extent, penicillin resistance in beta-lactamase-producing S. aureus. These phenomena are explained by prevention of PBP2' synthesis and inhibition of secretion of beta-lactamase, respectively. Synergy between beta-lactams and tea extracts were demonstrat...
