“Both catechin and EGCG exhibited competitive mode of inhibition against collagenase.”
“ Catechin and EGCG treated collagen exhibited 56 and 95% resistance, respectively, against collagenolytic hydrolysis by collagenase.”
“The kinetics of inhibition of collagenase by catechin and EGCG has been deduced from the extent of hydrolysis of (2-furanacryloyl-L-leucyl-glycyl-L-prolyl-L-alanine), FALGPA.”
“Whereas direct interaction of catechin and EGCG with collagenase exhibited 70 and 88% inhibition, respectively, to collagenolytic activity of collagenase against collagen and the inhibition was found to be concentration dependent.”
