| About the compound: | Catechins
are a type of natural phenol and antioxidant, belonging to the family of
flavan-3-ols. The basic structure of catechins encompasses two benzene rings (A
and B) linked by a dihydropyran heterocycle (C ring) with two chiral centers,
which means there are several stereoisomers of catechin. Catechins are found
abundantly in nature, particularly in green tea leaves. They are also present
in various fruits, chocolates, wines, and other beverages. Catechins,
especially from green tea, have been extensively studied for their potential
health benefits. They have demonstrated antioxidant, anti-inflammatory,
antiviral, and anticancer properties. Their consumption is linked to reduced
risks of certain diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. Safety and Hazard GHS
