  • Brief Description
    (-)-Epicatechin is an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), inhibiting the IL-1β-induced expression of iNOS by blocking the nuclear localization of the p65 subunit of NF-κB.
  • Description
    Epicatechin is a flavan-3-ol, a type of natural phenol and antioxidant. It is a plant secondary metabolite. The name of the catechin chemical family derives from catechu, which is the tannic juice or boiled extract of Mimosa catechu (Acacia catechu L.f). l-Epicatechin can be found in cacao beans and was first called kakaool or cacao-ol. Maximilian Nierenstein was among those who proved the presence of catechin in cocoa beans in 1931.
