Affinity of polyphenols for lipid bilayers

T Nakayama et al. Biofactors. 2000.

Abstract

Interaction of tea catechins with lipid bilayers has been investigated with liposome systems. Epicatechin gallate had the highest affinity for lipid bilayers, followed by epigallocatechin gallate, epicatechin, and epigallocatechin. Epicatechin gallate and epigallocatechin gallate in the surface of lipid bilayer perturbed the membrane structure.
