Manipulating acetylation status of key gene targets is likely to be crucial for effective cancer therapy. In this study, we utilized green tea catechins, epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC) and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) to examine the regulation of androgen receptor acetylation in
Enantioselective total syntheses of (+)-gallocatechin, (-)-epigallocatechin, and 8-C-ascorbyl-(-)-epigallocatechin.
