Abstract

We have previously reported that green tea catechins(GTC) displayed potent antithrombotic effect, which was due to the antiplatelet activity. In the present study, the antiplatelet activity of each green tea catechin components was compared in vitro. Galloylated catechins including (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), (-)-gallocatechin gallate (GCG), (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECG) and (-)-catechin gallate (CG), significantly inhibited collagen $(5{\mu}g/mL)-induced$ rabbit platelet aggregation with $IC_{50}$ values of 79.8, 63.0, 168.2 and $67.3{\mu}M$, respectively. EGCC GCG and CG also significantly inhibited arachidonic acid (AA, $100{\mu}M$)-induced rabbit platelet aggregation with $IC_{50}$ values of 98.9, 200.0 and $174.3{\mu}M$, respectively. However catechins without gallate moiety showed little inhibitory effects against rabbit platelet aggregation induced by collagen or AA compared with galloylated catechins. These observations suggest that the presence of gallate moiety at C-3 position may be essential to the antiplatelet activity of catechins and the presence of B ring galloyl structure may also contribute to the antiplatelet activity of GTC. In line with the inhibition of collagen-induced platelet aggregation, EGCG caused concentration-dependent decreases of cytosolic calcium mobilization, AA liberation and serotonin secretion. In contrast, epigallocatechin (EGC), a structural analogue of EGCG lacking a galloyl group in the 3' position, although slightly inhibited collagen-stimulated cytosolic calcium mobilization, failed to affect other signal transductions as EGCG in activated platelets. Taken together, these observations suggest that the antiplatelet activity of EGCG may be due to inhibition of arachidonic acid liberation and inhibition of $Ca^{2+}$ mobilization and that the antiplatelet of EGCG is enhanced by the presence of a gallate moiety esterified at carbon 3 on the C ring.

저자들은 녹차 카테킨(GTC)이 강한 항 혈전 작용을 나타내며, 이는 항 혈소판 활성에 의한 것임을 보고한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는, 8가지 녹차 카테킨 성분들의 항 혈소판 활성을 비교하였다. 실험결과, 갈레이트(gallate) 구조를 갖는 카테킨들(EGCG, GCG, ECG, CG)은 콜라겐$(5{\mu}g/ml)$으로 유도한 토끼 혈소판 응집능을 강하게 억제하였으며, 50% 억제농도$(IC_{50})$는 각각 79.8, 63.0, 168.2, $67.3{\mu}M$이었다. 또한 EGCG, GCG, CG는 아라키돈산(AA, $100{\mu}M$)으로 유도한 토끼 혈소판 응집능을 억제하였고, 50% 억제농도$(IC_{50})$는 각각 98.9, 200.0, $174.3{\mu}M$이었다. 반면에, 갈레이트 구조를 가지지 않는 카테킨들은 혈소판 응집능 억제 효과가 매우 약했다. 이 결과는 항 혈소판 활성에서 카테킨들의 C-3 위치의 갈레이트 구조의 존재가 매우 중요하다는 것과 카테킨들과 B-ring 갈레이트 구조의 존재 또한 녹차카테킨의 항 혈소판 활성에 중요한 작용한다는 것을 의미한다. 그리고, EGCG는 농도 의존적으로 세포내 칼슘 생성과 아리키돈산의 생성을 억제시켰는데, 이는 혈소판 응집능의 억제와 일치하였다. 반면에, EGC는 세포 내 칼슘 및 다른 혈소판 활성 기전에 아무런 영향이 없었다. 이들 결과는 EGCG의 항 혈소판 활성은 C-ring에서 carbon 3 자리의 에스테르화 된 갈레이트 구조의 존재에 의해서 강화된 항 혈소판 작용으로, 아라키돈산 생성과 세포 내 칼슘 생성을 억제하는 효과에 기인한 것이라 사료된다.
