Upper classes : FL Flavonoid : FL6 Flavan : FL63 Flavan 3-ol :  FL63AC Catechin and Epicatechin (75 pages) :  FL63ACNS Simple substitution (24 pages)


Catechins refer to a subgroup of flavan 3-ol derivatives (FL63AC). The two chiral center at C2 and C3 of the flavan 3-ols produces 4 isomers, and (+)-Catechin and its stereoisomer (-)-Epicatechin are naturally abundant. Less abundant are (-)-Catechin and (+)-Epicatechin.

  • afzelechin ... catechin minus 1 hydroxyl group in ring B
  • gallocatechin ... catechin plus 1 hydroxyl group in ring B

いわゆるカテキン類とは、Flavan 3-olの下にあるグループを指します。C2, C3位にある不斉炭素によって4つの異性体が作られますが、自然界に豊富なのは (+)-カテキン とその立体異性体である (-)-エピカテキン です。 (-)-カテキン(+)-エピカテキン は自然界にあまりみられません。

  • アフゼレキン ... カテキンのB環から水酸基を一つ除いたもの
  • ガロカテキン ... カテキンのB環に水酸基を一つ追加したもの

Name (+)-Catechin or
D-Catechin
(-)-Epicatechin or
L-Epicatechin
ent-Catechin or
(-)-Catechin
ent-Epicatechin or
(+)-Epicatechin
B-ring stereo
3-Hydroxyl stereo
Afzelechins (+)-Afzelechin (-)-Epiafzelechin ent-Epiafzelechin
Gallocatechins (+)-Gallocatechin (-)-Epigallocatechin ent-Gallocatechin

Among the stereoisomers, the bioavailability in human follows the order:

立体異性体の中で、ヒトにおける利用活性は以下の順番になります。

(-)-epicatechin > (+)-catechin = (+)-epicatechin > (-)-catechin

The circulation level of (-)-epicatechin is 6 times higher than that of (-)-catechin. Naturally abundant species are more bioavailable than less abundant ones.

(-)-エピカテキンが体内に入る効率は(-)-カテキンの6倍にもなり、天然に多く産する分子種が多く吸収されることがわかります。
