Abstract

Three methylated EGCG derivatives were purified by preparative chromatography,and their structures were identified by LC/MS and NMR as the following: 4′,4″-di-Me-EGCG、4′,3″,4″-tri-Me-EGCG and 4′,3″,4″,5″-tetra-Me-EGCG.DPPH scavenging assay and the evaluation of total antioxidant activity experiment showed that the methylated EGCG derivatives had much lower antioxidant capability than 98% EGCG,only to 68.17% and 6.84% of 98% EGCG in average,respectively.
