Abstract
The polyphenolic dimers, epicatechin-4beta-8-catechin (B1), epicatechin-4beta-8-epicatechin (B2), catechin-4beta-8-catechin (B3), catechin-4beta-8-epicatechin (B4), and the gallate ester epicatechin-4beta-8-epicatechin gallate (B'2G) were isolated from grape seeds, and theaflavins and theafulvins from black tea brews. The ability of these naturally-occurring polyphenols to afford protection against the genotoxicity of the heterocyclic amine 3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-2) was compared with that of the monomeric tea flavanols, (+)-catechin (C), (-)-epicatechin (EC), (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECG), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC) and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Genotoxic activity was evaluated in human peripheral lymphocytes using the Comet assay. At the concentration range of 1-100 microM, neither the monomeric nor the dimeric flavanols prevented the lymphocyte DNA damage induced by Trp-P-2. In contrast, both of the black tea polyphenols, theafulvins and theaflavins, at a dose range of 0.1-0.5 mg/ml, prevented, in a concentration-dependent manner, the DNA damage elicited by Trp-P-2. Finally, neither the monomeric and dimeric polyphenols (100 microM) nor the theafulvins and theaflavins (0.5mg/ml) caused any D...Continue Reading
