The ability of (-)-epicatechin (EC), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC) and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) to inhibit the growth of HCT 116 colorectal and Hep G2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells was examined by MTT and clonogenic assays (CA). The respective catechins inhibited the growth of HCT 116 more strongly than Hep G2. In MTT assay, IC(50) values of EGC and EGCG against HCT 116 grew smaller on prolongation of the exposure times of the cells to the catechins. In CA, however, these two catechins had IC(50) values ranging between 7.6+/-0.4 and 11.2+/-0.5 microM against the same cells regardless of the exposure times. EC showed much weaker growth inhibitions relative to the two aforementioned catechins.

The diastereomers of six major flavanone-7-O-glycosides (naringin, prunin, narirutin, hesperidin, neohesperidin and eriocitrin) were completely separated for the first time by chiral capillary electrophoresis (CE) employing various buffers and chiral selectors on the basis of the results achieved in 1998 in our research group by Mellenthin. The following chiral additives to the background electrolyte (BGE) were examined: native cyclodextrins (CDs; alpha-, beta- and gamma-CD), neutral cyclodextrin derivatives (dimethyl-beta-CD, hydroxypropyl-beta-CD, hydroxypropyl-gamma-CD) and charged cyclodextrin derivatives (carboxymethyl-beta-CD, carboxyethyl-beta-CD). The effect of CD type, CD concentration and pH value on chiral recognition will be discussed in the following article. In this work, lemon juice (Citrus limon L.) was also examined by chiral CE. Eriocitrin and hesperidin could be identified as characteristic flavanones and chiral separation of their diastereomers could be achieved according to the developed chiral method by capillary electrophoresis using a 0.2 M borate buffer at pH 10.0 and with 5 mM gamma-CD as chiral selector.
