Epub 2016 Mar 23. PMID: 27017946 Abstract Title:  An in vitro evaluation of epigallocatechin gallate (eGCG) as a biocompatible inhibitor of ricin toxin. Abstract:  The catechin, epigallocatechin gallate (eGCG), found in green tea, has inhibitory activity against a number of protein toxins and was investigated in relation to its impact upon ricin toxin (RT) in vitro. The IC50 for RT was 0.08±0.004ng/mL whereas the IC50 for RT+100μM eGCG was 3.02±0.572ng/mL, indicating that eGCG mediated a significant (p https://greenmedinfo.com/article/egcg-may-provide-starting-point-refine-biocompatible-substances-can-reduce-let#comments EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate) Ricin Toxicity In Vitro Study Wed, 18 May 2016 23:59:38 +0000 greenmedinfo 127614 at https://greenmedinfo.com
