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.
