摘要:
Contemplated methods and compositions further increase susceptibility of sensitized MRSA against various antibiotic drugs. Most preferably, the MRSA is already sensitized with a galloylated catechin (e.g., ECG), and further sensitization is achieved by exposure to a non-galloylated catechin (e.g., EC), and most preferably the corresponding non-galloylated catechin.

摘要:
A catechin is modified in at least one position (most preferably in the 3-position of the C-ring) to increase its lipophilicity. Contemplated catechins are demonstrated to have significantly improved antibacterial properties, likely due to catastrophic membrane damage.

摘要:
Compositions and methods are directed to covalent adducts between reducing agents and optionally substituted 3-hydroxyflavans, wherein the reducing agent is covalently bound to the B-ring of the 3-hydroxyflavan. Such adducts exhibit markedly increased stability towards oxidation as compared to the unmodified 3-hydroxyflavan. Particularly preferred 3-hydroxyflavans include green tea catechins, and especially EGCG, while especially preferred reducing agents include NAC and glutathione.
摘要:
A method for a treatment of hyperplasia caused by papilloma virus, such as for treating Condyloma acuminata which comprises administering tea catechin. Tea catechins do not involve the risk of side-effects and may be easily applied to or inserted in the infected area by the patients themselves.
摘要:
The present invention provides a medicated gargling cup with which it is possible to form a liquid for gargling effective for preventing cold by merely pouring water into the cup; an antiviral mask having a nonwoven fabric impregnated with a tea extract, which mask can be easily produced commercially and is capable of maintaining a high virus trapping performance, inactivating the trapped viruses and preventing them from being rescattered; an antiviral filter and an antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral filter comprising in laminations a dust collecting filter and a filter impregnated with a tea extract; an air cleaner and an air cleaner-humidifier comprising the antiviral filter.

摘要:
The objective of the present invention is to provide a tea polyphenol composition that has reduced bitterness and astringency while containing catechins with high purity. The present invention provides a tea polyphenol composition, (A) comprising 85% by weight to 95% by weight of catechins, (B) wherein the catechins contains epigallocatechin gallate and gallocatechin gallate at a ratio of 65% by weight to 80% by weight and (C) wherein the ratio given by (epigallocatechin gallate+gallocatechin gallate)/(epicatechin+catechin+epigallocatechin+gallocatechin+epicatechin gallate+catechin gallate) is from 2 to 4.
摘要:
A method of increasing the activity of an antibiotic against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a patient by administering to the patient the antibiotic in combination with a catechin and/or a theaflavin.
