Abstract excerpt
Epidemiological studies suggest potent anticancer effects of tea catechins. Previously, we have reported (I. Naasani et aL, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 249: 391-396, 1998) that epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a major tea catechin, strongly and directly inhibits telomerase, a ribonucleoprotein that maintains telomeres and has been implicated in tumorigenesis. Here, we describe newly synthesized compounds...
