Synthesis, Stability, and Antidiabetic Activity Evaluation of (−)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) Palmitate Derived from Natural Tea Polyphenols

This work describes a novel approach for the synthesis of (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) palmitate by a chemical-synthesis method, where the elevated stability of the EGCG derivative is achieved. Various parameters affecting the acylation process, such as the base, solvent, as well as the molar...
